It would be fantastic if PHP 6 was multi-threaded so you could spin threads to do simultaneous tasks. Is there any plans for this? It would also be great if you could exec() or system() a program to run without blocking on a return. Sometimes I just want some other task to happen independantly without waiting (for example, call a program that *IS* threaded). Many other languages including JAVA, Perl, Python and Ruby are all multi-threaded, and it's a continuing source of frustration that PHP isn't.
