Oh yes this is wise. Even stronger, we do not have the choice given the 
single thread nature of the VM, it will be a waste of resources to not 
have several image running in parallel. I vaguely know that there are 
inter process protocol for communication between process (IPC). Should 
it be fast enough for communication between applications deployed in 
different images?

Likely a Dynabook will be based on ARM architecture. The A64 SoC shipped 
with Pine64[1] comes with 6 cores! Using only one will be a waste of 
resources.
