Somewhat true, though first release was 2006 and it was pretty clear everything was going multi-core by then. But regardless, its their pool and they choose how they want to operate it. We're fortunate that they share it with everyone

I admire the forever project, and the dedication of the brothers. I've played the game way too much in the past, but I grew increasingly frustrated with the single threaded model combined with their disinterest in fixing it. Building a
