As with other areas such as exception handling etc., I would advise  
you to take multi-core technology into account at design time.  
Programing efficiently for more than one core is certainly not as easy  
as making cookies and thus if you don't plan up front you are likely  
to lose efficiency later on. Especially in your example about  
interprocess/interthread communications.
