Suppose that you launch a second fred on another cpu. How do you 
synchronise the main fred and the second fred together so that the main 
fred doesn't have to wait ? Sounds to me like a big issue with 
multi-fredded applications. You can't guarantee that the second cpu will 
run the fred when the first fred will want to, because fredding is 
dependent on the cpu's availability and the OS's scheduler's decisions.
