Well, then I'm simply out of the loop and mostly-off base. Woops, sorry. I'll go there and see if we can keep it going. Looks like we're talking about both multi-threading and multi-instances which would be a big move towards solving some fundamental problems.
Also, it's not really a discussion any more, I turned it into a rant. :P In any case, I'd rather let my frustration be known and apologize later than sit by and *hope* for updates. In any case, if I can be helpful I'm more than willing to pitch in and get things done.

Hi all - just a short note since this discussion is much too wode-ranging to address in full...

As history has shown, the chances are limited. Again, there is probably a good way to do it where you could choose whether to use a single or multithreaded core but the real stakeholders are absent from the discussion.
I think the main stakeholders are Pd users :)
Anyhow, there's a useful discussion thread about pdlib instancing here:

and there's a wonderful series of talks underway at IRCAM about the problems of real-time media computing in general:
