don't hold your breath. mapinfo has better things to think about than
speed/quality issues with their core product.
i'd love to see it too since i have to process thousands and thousands of
objects thru mapinfo/mapbasic and it literally takes overnight to do so.
but, it's a fact of life i have to deal with.

true, the esri line isn't multithreaded now, but i really think esri will
meet this demand before mapinfo does. especially beings they're totally
rebuilding the arcview platform and modelling it after the arcinfo arcmap
extension.
