Maybe you also want to take a look at Poly/ML http://www.polyml.org/ notably the forthcoming version 5.1 which sports native platform threads (with proper parallelism on multicore systems). So far the programming model is that of pthreads, i.e. no higher principles yet, and it conceptually all operates on shared memory objects in the old-fashioned way. General performance and scalability of Poly/ML is quite good, better than any other SML implementation I've encountered so far. See http://isabelle.in.tum.de/ for what we usually do with it (this version is still without parallelism) or http://www4.in.tum.de/~wenzelm/test/website-test/ for the forthcoming parallel one.
