Not the case when you run on the latest and greatest Intel chips, like 
the Xeon, where you can take advantage of technologies such as 
hyperthreading on a single-CPU machine. I agree with Ramiro in that 
Squeak should support native threads. Again, I posted this question 
before and no one really addressed it: Is this a Squeak-only issue or 
is it an issue with Smalltalk in general?

Thanks,
