 Evidently this isn't so true anymore. I say this based
on demos I've seen recently (on a fast Windows machine,
YMMV, etc)

 Most modern JVM's compile to native code.

 For what? Unless you're on a multi-processor machine,
threads actually slow things down. Gratuitously adding
threads is guaranteed to be a bad thing. There's some
hope that particular kinds of user-perceived performance
bottlenecks can be helped by client-side threading, but
there's no particular reason to believe that it would
help here.
