No - the runtime is completely single-threaded without -threaded.
Blocking I/O is managed by the runtime. With -threaded, blocking I/O is
managed by a Haskell thread. The programmer shouldn't see any
difference in the behaviour of I/O.
Is the documentation for -threaded lacking? I realise it's a bit terse,
but do you have any concrete suggestions for improving it?
Cheers,
