Building Multithreading into an application that

- wasn't designed for it

- and when the implementation language doesn't support it well

is a nightmare.

It's technically difficult and finding the bugs is sometimes like finding a needle in the haystack because the errors are often hard or nearly impossible to reproduce. E.g. the last(?) concurrency error in BGBlitz did only show up in a special position with at least 8 CPUs.....

So probably adding this to Snowie is a major rewrite (at least I assume this. I don't know whether Delphi has good concurrency support and I believe Snowie is written in Delphi), and I don't know whether they are willing to invest this effort.
