Description Alp Toker 2007-12-12 08:50:46 PST 
This is a useful feature to enable for applications that want to use KJS without blocking the main thread.

A quick look at collector.cpp suggests that certain bits need to be implemented either using pthread or GThread.

There's a WIP patch in bug #26838 for pthreads.

This flag is gone now and I believe that GTK+ is using multiple threads at the moment.
