BTW: The CUDA as example simply uses a thread pool. Maintaining a number of
cores pool will very much eliminate the thread creation. Please note that I
am not advocating this addition. There are better ways to add MT support
IMHO, but that is another discussion.

Subject: Re: [fpc-devel] Parallel Computing
_parallel_ can be maybe used for lightweight threads. But here we must
keep in mind that
thread creation is quite expensive. Depending on memory architecture,
number of CPUs and selected number of threads we can get different speedup
or
slowdown too.
