Agreed. When I write code on a single core machine, then watch it peg only a single core when I run it on a multicore machine, I start thinking about changing languages. That's a pretty big change! [Before you say I should leverage features in my current language to perform better on multicore machines, keep in mind that's also a big change! I'd rather switch to a language that does it for me, or at least makes it trivial.]
