Nevermind. I just found the answer in the mail archive. There's no multiprocessor support.

In "Inside PLT MzScheme", it says MzScheme is basically a singlethreaded runtime. But way back in version 103p, it says: "On a fewplatforms, including Windows, Solaris, and Linux, MzScheme can becompiled to map each Scheme thread to a separate operating systemthread. The advantage of the OS-thread configuration is that differentScheme threads can take advantage of different processors on a multi-processor machine."  That's what I want. Has support for this been removed, or is it still possible to compilemzscheme to use OS threads? How? I compiled with pthreads, but thatdidn't appear to work.Thanks.
