Re: Shrinking the C core

Turning a program into multi-threaded _may_ make it faster and more
responsive, but that is not necessary nor sufficient.

As an example on my laptop, Emacs (a big single-threaded program) is
faster and more responsive than web browsers and mail clients (big
multi-threaded programs).

Sometimes emacs freezes briefly, but so do the other programs.
