- Mach is really awesome at multiprocessing. In fact, it was originally
- designed for a DEC massively parallel supercomputer that got
- scrapped... Anyway, it does support multiple threading across
- separate CPU's. You can also define "processor groups" and confine a
- thread to a particular processor group.

- Start writing multithreaded apps now so they scream if NeXT puts out a
- multi-cpu box in the future...
