Excellent advice! At work, I've worked on threaded software on machines
with 1 2, and 4 CPU's, all on Windows NT. Bugs show up at all levels of
that, and some of them can be difficult to figure out, since they can be
timing dependent. You've got to be extremely careful with any locking,
etc. that you need. And, you've got to make *no* assumptions about
things getting done and the timing of them.

Don't design inefficiency in - it'll happen in the implementation.
