I would also be interested in performance improvements of certain algorithms by taking advantage of the multi-core processors we have nowadays. The fork-join framework of java 7 looks clean and simple to use, so I guess it is somehow a logical target for a library as CM. +1 >> Well, you probably don't want to switch to Java 7 now, [...] > > Oh, yes, please! 8-P I would be in favor of this too, but we could also target it for the 4.0 release together with the parallelization stuff.
