Even my laptop sports an HT CPU. Sorta cool, having two graphs in the task  
manager :).

Still, native multithreading is a big can of worms. At least, if my Java  
experience applies here (I used to be part of the "Blackdown" team, not  
that I contributed anything major, but I did get my share of exposure to  
this when helping out to port Java to Linux). Personally, I'd rather look  
at various clustering setups with multiple image instances.

As I said before, VW has native MT support, but I never had the guts to  
switch it on. Just ran two images...
