Multiple processor/core utilisation
Doing a really resource intensive task in Scratch, and looking at the Activity Monitor, it looks like only one of my 4 cores at a time are doing any work...
Would it be possible to make Scratch use more than one?
Also, a 64-bit version of Scratch should be developed so that more RAM can be used

Re: Multiple processor/core utilisation
I'm not sure if that would be possible.
Programming is an art...
Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

Re: Multiple processor/core utilisation
Isn't this more of a language issue? I'm not sure if Squeak, Java, or Flash can handle multi-threading properly. (without cheating, any way)

I'm pretty sure they can.
64-bit would also be good...
