Re: Default backend and thread backends?

But that was tested by adding locks on existing global data structures, not removing them, right? I won't believe for a second that it's a theoretical limit (i.e. based on Pike language properties) which can't be overcome.

Well, then another question - is it planned to make Pike really multithreaded, so Pike code will be executed simultaneously?

I don't know. I don't think anyone has really felt the need for that.

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.
