PNO - Threads and other evils

[fugibo]

True. Multi-core processors and multi-processor PCs do run threads at the same time.

And then there's hyper-threading. There are some old single-cores with that.

In RMXP only one core is used so they won't run at the same time.

In RMXP only one core is used so they won't run at the same time.

Because of the aforementioned "RUBY HAS NO THREAD-SAFETYZ!" Two cores can equal up to half as much lag (depending upon implementation), so if Ruby allowed for you to embed it into truly multi-thread applications, it'd be pretty nice. See what I meant?

[Zeriab]

Properly the reason to restrict the Ruby interpreter to 1 thread and use their own scheduler. That way it they don't have to deal with threads in the core.
I know that in practice you use multiple interpreters to utilize more cores or cpus. (It may have changed with 1.9 >_>)
