I've tried doing that. But it turns out that Pike would become less than half as fast in the process, so the effort was pretty much self- defeating.

Why not just create separate interpreter object (state) for every thread, and leave thread management (mutexes, IPCs, etc) to an app?

Another alternative would be object locks, function locks, etc (an attribute like "locked"?).

If I've SMP machine (and this becomes common nowadays, at least for servers), it makes sense.

But I guess it would require very extensive rewriting of interpreter, or?
