But you make a giant mistake assuming that everyone is writing big web apps.

  Assuming no such thing. It's just the easiest example to hand. At Pixar we used similar techniques for rendering.

    you said, "the easy way to leverage those cores is to spin up a server process for each core" It's not THE easy way. It's actually the harder way, but in some cases, like giant public web apps, you have to do the hardway anyway. Managing a work queue using java.util.concurrent in process is far easier than managing many processes and coordinating across something like redis.
