Does the current self system support native OS threads ?
(At the moment I am working with ParcPlace Smalltalk and I have about 250 Processes around. It would be nice, if they were on the level of the OS as opposed to the VM and bytecodes, as they are at the moment)

No, sorry.

Presumably you have a multiprocessor that could exploit the concurrency.
It would be nice to put this into the Self VM, but it's not easy and I can't imagine it happening anytime soon.
