@aredridel curious where Gulp keeps its thread pool… all I found was this: https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/issues/317 …
@aredridel as soon as more than one thread is running uncontended in parallel, a.k.a. multicore
-

@bascule Then node counts. Not long duration without contention, but lots of stuff happens in parallel. -
@aredridel Node is single threaded. Anything that stalls the event loop prevents I/O processing. There is no parallelism. -
@aredridel there are ways to do do parallel processing in JavaScript, e.g. SIMD.js: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/10/introducing-simd-js/ … -
@bascule That too. Also child_process is a much more useful and general way.

@bascule And if you expand your definition of 'core' to include any processor, you start seeing the inherent parallelism in systems.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
