Like I am mentally stuck on 1 os thread thing....
DO you run multiple smalltalks, 1 per cpu? all with same objects?
can multiple smalltalks share objects?
I am kinda confused?

I have one app in Dolphin Aida/swazoo. It uses the single OS thread and a lot of
Smalltalk processes. It is CPU intensive and uses mutex and semaphores to handle the concurrency tasks.
So it is one cpu. Think if you have several CPU's then a seperate OODB server would handle the concurrency tasks of object sharing.
