A big bottleneck in games is operations that must be performed in a specific order and cannot be parallelized. Even our pocket computers nowadays could do 4 or more threads. It seems wasteful to tie game's performance to a single thread, but every programmer knows threads are an unending source of unexpected bugs and are notoriously hard to debug.
#Godot offers some options to parallelize node graph processing, but I have not yet gotten into that...
