For Seasiders, there now a good perspectives to have a single 'main' image, which accepts incoming connections, and do load-balancing between smaller images which do all dirty work.
How would that work? How would you pass a request to a different image? How would it return the response? How would you keep the images in sync (deploy code to all the images)?
See, Hydra VM is just VM it's not a smallatlk application (such as Seaside). And of course, to resolve all of the above there a lot to do and think of.
I still feel that for Seaside one Image with multiple native threads would be the best option.
If you talking about making single image be able to run using multiple native threads.. oh.. There was a lot of discussions around that. And i think, that my attempt to introduce multithreading into VM at least on a per-image basis is a step forward to it.
