I forgot to add that we have definitely entered new times where multiple CPU's/Cores will be the norm, so in my mind then REALbasic and every other development tool will simply have to somehow give the tools to developers to make use of those additional CPU's.

I think that is a reasonable request. It might not be easy for them right now, but the more common this hardware setting will be and the more apps that make use of it then the pressure will only increase.

But this is an area that Plugin developers can research as well -- and take advantage of the fact that REALbasic does not currently provide this support. Image effects especially could benefit from multi-threaded algorithms since each channel can be spawned into its own thread (for example, a blur or sharpen filter).
