Interesting, since paralellizing the VM is not practicable in the near
term, I was looking into opportunities for factoring the functionality
of the image into paralell, possibly distributed sub-systems. This has a
number of drawbacks next to transparent multithreading, but shouldn't be
quite as challenging on the implementation side... (the changes to the
VM code are more superficial...)

Could you provide links to the frameworks you mentioned above?
