The threads library is implemented by time-sharing on a single processor. It will not take advantage of multi-processor machines.
Using this library will therefore never make programs run faster.
However, many programs are easier to write when structured as several communicating processes.

The most surprising aspect of OCaml’s system threads is that they don’t afford you any access to physical parallelism. That’s because OCaml’s runtime has a single runtime lock that at most one thread can be holding at a time.
