Pd already does parallelism, but not using threads. It is determinstic instead, meaning it will produce the exact same bit-for-bit result everytime it runs. Its quite hard to make threaded programs do that.
The huge disadvantage being that you can't spread it over multiple cores. [pd~] is a pretty good solution but I worry about what will happen to Pd when there are 4096 CPUs in our machines. Dynamically patching 4096 [pd~] instances? [poly_pd~]? :D
