It's nice that you can have millions of threads if you want to do something very "concurrent". What I tend to want is "parallel" - doing stuff that *could* be done in a single thread, but I want it to go faster using my big mighty multicore box. As I understand it, you have to do something "special" to make that happen...?

Have you seen this paper? http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~dsg/gph/papers/html/Strategies/strategies.html

It's probably want you want, I think.

Well, it certainly looks interesting... thanks.
