threaded progames

So guys I hear of many people saying single threaded programs suck. I personally program in java and i have a question. Even when i make a single thread program in java and then look @ it via jconsole it appears to have ~5-10 threads up at any time. Does that mean it's already multi-threaded and really wouldn't make a shit load of a difference since i'm already using multiple cores?

You can share memory if you want to, you just have to be really explicit and deliberate about it. Which is the way it should be.
