Yeah, me too.
There were no extra arms included on the options so extra CPU's wouldn't do me that good.
It would be much like most OS's where you can have multiple cores but the first one is always the one in use most of the time.
A better OS is always what it takes for the machine to operate on high levels of performance under abusive usage (lots of cafeeine, 2 hours of sleep per night/day  )
O good OS would be one that would take care os the parts good enough so they would fall apart (depression, sleepness, ...)
Cheers!

Who's marriage wouldn't be improved by increased parallelism? Then I could watch TV and not have to pause it and say "what" every time the wife asked me a question.

Have to be careful though, look how it worked out for Dr Manhattan.....

More and Better interaction with peripheral systems,
Particularly well-designed big-endian models.
I realize this will result in additional utilization of parent-method functionality in order to insure proper inheritance in the child processes.

Yes.
One sensible ,delicate,thoughtful and considerate for wife/girlfriend interaction,
and the first for the real life...

PS
But since I do not have a girlfriend/wife,
I don't need that,
so I voted for something else.

That got me thinking... As a person of the female persuasion of course I can multi-task already, I do indeed use different software for interaction with child processes, and for the spousal unit. And the me at work is not compatible with the home me. Witness the astonishment of my family if they see me in engineer mode dealing with the auto workshop.
Harking back to the previous survey, I would very much like to be able to remove malicious programs from other people; I would like to remove the football-on-television bug from the males at home, and the watching-unbelievably-stupid-celebrity-shows bug from the female child process. Then I could reprogram the blackbirds in the garden to wait with the singing till 5 minutes before my alarm goes off...

What about multiple booting system ?

you are foolish: I learned most of my mistakes - an i leanred a lot

Perhaps, but maybe some of the mistakes permanently corrupted some very important data, I wish I had a recovery mechanisms (I'd miss just a few stuff that were done since last backup)
|
|
|
|
|
That is the normal backup problem: between them you maybe loosing data. So you got carefully choose the interval between. Maybe a month is too long

...algorithm code is going to run really slow in an under-powered processor.
However, the assumption was that we could continue to keep the existing components, and upgrade what we desire for. In which case, more CPU cores look like the best option to me.

I see "more CPU cores" has more votes than "faster processor speed".
But faster processor speed is strictly more powerful than more cores - a CPU that is twice as fast is as good as two CPU's when there are at least 2 CPU-heavy tasks, but it will also help with just 1 CPU-heavy task (by far the more common scenario)
I'd even take a 1.2 times faster CPU over "double the number of cores". Mostly because it would help more with the things I typically do, but also because of the GPGPU trend - parallel tasks are moving off to the GPU so your CPU doesn't have to be good at it.

With most of the daily tasks that we do, the processing speed of our brain is far more than sufficient. This may be an exception, only if you need super-fast reaction times, like if you were a fighter jet pilot, or part of a special ops force, etc. But even with that, it looks like the bottle necks are not with the brain, but with the neurons that transmits signals to other parts of the body, or the very fact that other body parts cannot possibly react at "thought-speed". If I push my body parts to react at the speed of my brain, then that would be an incredible feat, but if my brain becomes even more quicker, then the old neurons and the old body parts now form a bigger bottleneck. There are certainly other cases where I could benefit from faster processing speed of the brain, but it isn't so in most cases, because I'm a normal person.
But more CPU cores means the ability to get more work done in a parallel manner, and my money is on that! I'd take a couple more cores, instead of 1.2 times faster brain, and that way I could write code faster, concentrating on two different parts of the problem at the same time, because my brain is now TRULY multi-cored! Now I could debug this multi-threaded nightmare with one core of my brain (each core is trained to work with multi-threaded code), WHILE I play chess with my 12 year old nephew.

While you were busy writing this answer, I've serialized and completed many more tasks, due to my brilliant-super-fast brain.
