Multicore is not a problem unless you're doing 'embarassingly parallelisable' computations like counting, summing, etc. :-) Even then OCaml libraries like Async Parallel offer multicore options.

For pretty much everything else, OCaml's single-threaded performance outstrips pretty much everything short of C/C++.
