[R] R and 2 processors

[Agustin Lobo]

As far as I can see by searching the archieves, R could not
take advantage of two processors in the same machine but there
were plans for implementing multithreading 
in R. Is this work going on?

On the other hand, if two processors are
present in the same linux machine is it possible to focus one
processor on tasks of the operative system and the other
on R and/or other real computing? Could anyone point me
to info on this subject?
