FWIW, I think that separating out as many FG subsystems as possible would be a very good way to go, especially in view of how CPU development is now solidly focussed on multiple core CPUs rather than ramping processing speeds, as was inevitable in the longer term. Re this particular subsystem, it might be worth also thinking about handling some of the weather stuff i.e. 3d clouds, storms and thermals, so these are also consistant over MP.
