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,
Daniel
