Current implementation of node.js does not ensure in any way a parallelism mechanism like the system threads. Please do note that node.js event loop works within a context of a single event que.

What does that result in?

- If you have lots of code that is blocking on IO operations (like file/socket) then you will see some improvements in performance. - If your code utilizes your cpu, then node.js will be slower then your current thread implementation.
