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,
