Not with the Oberon application. The rest of Bluebottle is written
with many Active Objects. On a n-processor machine n Active Objects
can run at the same time (if they have a job to do). Bluebottle so far
is tested up to 6 processors (so 6 activities could run at the same
time). The Oberon application will not profit except for the
displaying and drivers that have their own activities.
