Is there a timeline for true multithreading in LW on Windows?
I know that you can start multiple threads but the
documentation states:
Each Lisp mp:process has a separate native thread, but Lisp
code can only run in one thread at a time and a lock is used to enforce this.
The kind of threads I would like to
see would be threads that
are managed by the operating system,
affording you the full advantage of the
features provided by the operating
system. Multiple CPUs are supported, with
lisp threads running simultaneously
on multiple processors.
Thanks,
Parnell
