No, Emacs is strictly single-threaded and will probably remain that way for quite some time. Note that there is talk to add concurrency support to Emacs, but even then only one of those "Emacs threads" can run at any given instant. So this will help if some of those threads would otherwise busy-wait on something, but not if there is a compute-bound thread. Nobody wants to open the can of worms that a truly multithreaded ELisp is… Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ Samples for the Waldorf Blofeld: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#BlofeldSamplesExtra
