Will find out tomorrow - I see threading in the code. It might be a case on how they do the threading. This is after all a VM even if they use native code - meaning they might do the threading in the VM. In which case you actually run it from a single thread, but you don't need to thread V8 itself - it's the scripts you run that must be threaded - something a VM can do internally.
Take into account that a CISC like x86 have to move a load of register cash every time it actually thread - so simulating threading in the VM - changing context between 2 instructions would be a very performance saving thing to do. But, I will find out more exact tomorrow because I am only guessing now - and this is rather critical. V8 compiles to a 128 mb library :/ on Windows ...

Maybe I am confusing my projects. I wonder if it was the embedding part of it that did not enable proper threading ??? Then again it could be like python, where when embedded all threads are virtual to the 1 process that is running (ie not threads as far as the kernel is concerned) which can confuse the kernel scheduler into sticking it in the penalty box for a while. Normally you are not doing enough in the embedded language to notice this scheduler issue so its almost a moot point. Other points may be valid though.
