	More precisely, I would say that WORKBENCH is not multi-threaded, isn't it ?

	You can run both Dopus and Dpaint, both using Intuition, and it works well. So 
Intuition is multi-threaned.
	The problem is that Workbench Cut-off multitasking while displaying a directory, so 
when you copy a file, the directory is refresh, and it causes a "wait".
