Fast threading benefits from fast context switches which benefits from small register sets. I believe the trend is towards ever large register sets. Also, multiple processors with shared memory don't scall all that well; multiple processors with explicit IPC channels scale much better. All arguments for multi-processing and against multi-threading. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
