Extreme computer works slow Multicore support seriously missing!

[David Bjerre Bjørklund]

Used Inkscape on an extreme computer featuring something like 16core 64bit 2gh processor, 12gb ram
But it work really slow because Inkscape does not support multicore computing. It only used 2 cores.
This problem makes it almost impossible to create larger and detailed vector images, and forces me to consider using adobe illustrator on a windows machine. Sad, the functions in inkscape are quite impressive, (if it could handle scalable multicore processing)

Tested on windows machine. Windows 7. Inkscape ver. 0.47 and 0.48 alpha

David: Hopefully you should see some performance improvements in Inkscape 0.49. However, it will be a while before it is out.
