I hear BeOS uses something called pervasive multithreading... lots of small
process threads.  I hear it makes multimedia type things very smooth.  I think
one of the kernel models should have this.... (however this model as we all know
is totally contrary to server processes, hence the multi kernel design :)

We defiantly don't want it to be an add on for later. UniOS should support it
native, just like designing any other app.   Maybe we could implement it within
the hardware abstracts or the HAL...  High performance 2D/3D graphics functions
or something...
