Why dwarf fortress still single-threading game? Single core performance stop increase 5 years ago, and game plan to be more and more heavy.

Basically because is a hell to change a code so far down the road to multi-threading. And since Toady works alone it would mean months if not years of code updating only, no new features, which kind of keep the game (and donations) going and would mean in the end an stop altogether for the game. At least that's what I speculate. Perhaps he don't know how to do it, or simply don't want to do it at this moment or never.
