I don't think the physics code can be easily distributed among tiles. From 
what I remember, the drying itself is a simple 'water-=1', but the entire 
processing that comes before that is a lot more complicated than that.

That sounds very bad. So multithreaded krita will definitely need a lot more 
investigation to do. And that's probably not the best thing to spend our time 
on if we want to do a release in the near future.
