OK, but

how do you make a program that is able to non sluggishly communicate 
with the user while performing decent work (without doing 
performance-killing polling stuff like "process Messages") ?

how do you make a program doing huge calculations use multiple CPUs 
which are the contrary of "of the past" ?
