True, but it would help average request latency under load. I am hoping with Go 1.1 RC coming out next month that Google might enable multi-threading on the GAE.

Note: Even with Go only given a single core a developer can still write a Go program so they are concurrent. That way when one goroutine blocks on IO, another can use the CPU to make progress; furthermore, when multi-threading is enabled the performance upgrade will be substantial and seamless.
