“It can’t be done” - It doesn’t sit right with me
He didn’t say that. Two years ago, he said “the devil is in the details”, which means it’s a pain to get it right, not that it can’t be done.
I won’t accept from anyone here that there isn’t a way to make plugins etc capable of utilising multithreaded ops.
Again, putting words into people’s mouths vs what they actually said, two years ago. I cannot find any claim above that plugins couldn’t do multithreading.
And, in fact, in that intervening two years, @coises has created the Search++ plugin, which is trying, among other things, to add multiple threads (at least for Find In Files). You might want to try that plugin, and see if the FiF performance is better for you there… That discussion is still active, so if you have specific feedback, that would be a good place for it.
