Guys ,this kind of stuff is not just going to run "faster" in Molehill but MEGA faster . I have see 1000 times more complex stuff running on it without any CPU drop (Just watch Adobe Max presentations). That is GPU acceleration guys ,remember it .Also you will be able to send your vertices to PixelBender 3D for animation processing .That is already a separate thread. (Can't wait to get hands on that thing....)
BTW we talked here a few days ago about multi threading possibility in the Molehill.From my check on some blogs of the guys working for Adobe it seems it is not going to come with the Molehill release . Too much refactoring of Flash Player is needed.But as I have said ,PixelBender is an elegant solution.
