Yes, but not necessarily *compatible* improvement. I'm working on
what will likely become Perl 6, and the Perl 5 threading model is not
likely to live on into Perl 6.
Perl 5's threading implementation is tagged EXPERIMENTAL in large,
friendly letters, and has been so tagged ever since it was introduced.
There is good reason.
