[Glass] How does gemstone take advantage of multiple cores?

[James Foster via Glass]

Within a single Gem (virtual machine), things are single-threaded and use only one core at a time. You can use multiple cores by using multiple Gems.

What I mean is...a Gem will always be running in one single core (while others could be running in other cores)?  Say I am running a report or something CPU intensive in somewhere in my app code...is there a chance some code of it (maybe some collection related code) will run in parallel?
