I think the problem is more the software is single threaded. I’m sure YC can afford more than a single core machine.

  The software is multi-threaded but it runs on a platform (Racket) which implements that as green threads, meaning it runs them all on a single core.

    ah. That makes a lot more sense than hn being short $100. Thanks for modding.

      Note that Racket besides threads also has places, which allows programs to use more than one core.
