That would just be wrong because you could never have any control -
How many threads?
What priorities?
What gets done on what thread?

Also, on a single processor you'd just slow things up.

Worst of all it would break existing code.

Contrariwise, If it's important enough to you can always have a single
global per dll and initialize global pointers in threads from there.
