However, java does seem to scale linearly if you do purely CPU-bound things (such for( int i = 0; i<2^31; i++ );)

Personally, I would prefer to have complete control over object locking, instead of delegating this task to "too smart" interpreter
The you really need another language than pike. Such as C.
Java (at least when using suns JRE) does not count, it cannot use more than one CPU:s in practical tests I found using google. I guess it does automatic locking when allocating or deallocating objects (which happens all the time (r)) and thus does not really scale.
Most threaded C-applications also tend not to scale to multiple CPU:s, actually.
