You may want to review the Chicken mail archive for this topic.I wonder if there's been any movement on porting Termite from Gambit toChicken. If you're willing to cast your problem in an Erlang-stylelight, that could make for very high multicore performance indeed. Justspawn some child processes and start tossin' your functions at them.
I am "porting" Termite, sort-of. Tint (Tint is not Termite) is being built from generally useful eggs slowly being added to Chicken. We have timeouts in mailbox, remote-mailbox, and match-action. With logging and remote-launch in nearing release. See also Thomas Chust's rpc.
I wanted to go a different route. TinT will be one expression of a number of ways to perform distributed programming w/ Chicken. (The Termite syntax I coded 1st and will release last.)
