According this artikel we should get DF running on multi cores without much of a hassle (like rewriting)

It's an interesting approach.

Unfortunately, they started off with an allocator ~50% slower than what is already being used in DF. A 20% boost on top of that is just not very useful.

Once they manage to pass the performance of a common single-threaded allocator, I'll have another look. :P
