Let's just cut it right there. I had no ideas that I have such ideas and plans. Not only do you think you have insight into my mind, but you're talking about stuff which I completely leave up to other people!! If I do anything regarding multi-cpu support, it is by forcing the developers to be slightly more conservative, and thus making sure that everyone in the development team doesn't get left in the lurch when our tree breaks for 1-2 years, like everyone's tree has when going beyond single cpu. But please... don't attribute some brilliance to me which I don't have.
