KSP 1.1 finally added multithreading btw

  Only for different spacecraft, so it only really matters for some planetary bases. A single spacecraft is still processed in a single thread.

  When launching a rocket, that rocket's physics engine is still on a single thread. Given that the physics engine is the most CPU-intensive part of KSP, I'd say that KSP's support of multithreading is nominal at best. Multithreading aside: KSP's approach to physics also doesn't help them. Rather than make creative decisions re what should and shouldn't be calculated, they just hammer the physics thread with lots of calculations that have zero impact on the user experience. In a larger dev these would be optimized away.

    KSP is now owned by Take Two Interactive (since May). Here's hoping they can get those dev resources!
