Damn, I know that! This bugs us for about 8 years _constantly_. The cost of a fully loaded interp is outrageous. Recently we launched internal development of the module being able to handle 1000+ "users" (in our product-terms, workstations) with a stock 4 GB memory off-the-shelf machine like xserve or a Mac Pro. If we'd to make a thread-per-workstation, we'd need 1000 * at_least_10MB of virtual memory! No go. So I had to write all in plain C. This of course limited the functionality as we had to drop lots of it to buy time :-( What Tcl really lacks is a per-thread and global state. And I see _no_way_ how this can be made... Grmpf. I saw somewhere that Lua can have global and per-thread state and that you can provide your own locking primitives they use to lock their own code, but I haven't dig deeper there... I think I will make it a weekend project.
