Somewhat true, though first release was 2006 and it was pretty clear everything was going multi-core by then.
But regardless, its their pool and they choose how they want to operate it. We're fortunate that they share it with everyone because it is a very cool project, but that doesn't mean we can't take note that it falls under the weight of itself fairly quickly in practice.

They weren't really professional programmers though, from what I gather? Tarn was a professional mathematician. And the code base was started earlier than 2006.
