title: Node.js on multi-core machines
body: <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js" rel="noreferrer">Node.js</a> looks interesting, <strong>BUT</strong> I must miss something - isn't Node.js tuned only to run on a single process and thread?</p>
  
  <p>Then how does it scale for multi-core CPUs and multi-CPU servers? After all, it is all great to make fast as possible single-thread server, but for high loads I would want to use several CPUs. And the same goes for making applications faster - seems today the way is use multiple CPUs and parallelize the tasks.</p>
  
  <p>How does Node.js fit into this picture? Is its idea to somehow distribute multiple instances or what?</p>
