Just to be clear, IDL's math operations are multithreaded:

http://www.exelisvis.com/docs/Routines_that_Use_the_Th.html

but I agree, we need a generalized technique for multithreading IDL pro code. I should be careful because this is somewhat distant, but we do have a parallel processing API under development that we'd like to introduce in IDL 8.4. (Note that 8.3 is scheduled for this fall.) Email me if you'd like to be a beta tester; same goes for anyone reading this.

We're also looking at better ways to distribute IDL applications. The VM has been OK, but it's time for something better.
