He doesn't mention that the "compiler" that they're bottlenecking on is the one they wrote themselves, for "Wasabi" -- compiling their private language into VB or PHP.
On top of that, you don't fucking parallelize compilers!
You use a goddamn build system to do that (make, et. al.). Of course, that requires that your compiler be decent enough to be able to compile modules independently, and not have to recompile unmodified source. What do you want to bet that their compiler is just ridiculously awful?
