YAY!!!!

I did a half-assed attempt at that ten years ago....

My thinking was to run an Interpreter for each physical CPU (I had a SMP
machine back then).

Now that we're starting the process of moving away from x86, there are
could be specialized interpreters for different processors in the system
and, possibly, several Object Memories for things such as the GPU memory
area... Then you get Xeon Phi or NUMA type machines...
