Yes, but I dare you to find way to make base data types or code to be parallelized in real world. For example, you could make eina_list_sort() parallel, but then we must restrict user function to be "pure" (mathematical sense) and not use or store global memory, something that I see as possible but not much things are like it. Other than that, it's not an often used feature. EFL is quite good and fast on what's done at the moment. Where it was easily possible to break in parallel, it is (ie: evas rendering), other parts needs more on re-design the interfaces (ie: evas image loader to support native async as hardware loaders)... and some just need care to be done properly, that is the case with Efreet and it's cpu/memory/io hog implementation. Again, if you want to experiment and provide patches, fell very welcome. Just don't think it's something core developers should care much now.
