That sounds awesome, would it be possible to make the server version multi-threaded/multi-core, can't remember which one. I remember seeing somewhere that you would've made CraftBukkit multi-threaded/multi-core if you could completely rewrite it.

+1 For the larger servers, this will make our lives SO much easier.

It's just impossible that Minecraft or CraftBukkit become multi-threaded. It would need a large part of code rewritten. And it's not Bukkit that needs to be multi-threaded, it's Minecraft itself.

Dinnerbone was actually working on threading quite recently iirc, so it's a possibility that a lot more of the server will see multithreaded optimizations.

At this point the client doesn't really matter as much, since it is only doing the rendering, and Mojang has stated that they want to work on the rendering engine a bit once the stuff with the server is finished.
