Why not just run two CPython VMs, instead of one CPython VM and one PyPy VM? > If multiple cooperating processes is a reasonable response to the > "single threaded VM meets multi-core architecture" problem -then is > "multiple VM's in a single process" a better one? If you're running multiple VMs, and you want to take advantage of multi-core architecture, running them in multiple processes seems like a much better idea than running them in separate threads in the same process. -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar
