I severely doubt that.  It is like the "coding stuff in assembly
language will make it faster" myth.  The problem is that of manageable
complexity.  Making the stuff multithreaded or coded in assembly means
that it becomes inaccessible for a sound algorithmic redesign.

And anything that takes this long on today's machines has lots of room
for algorithmic improvement, usually resulting in a speedup from one
to several orders of magnitude.
