On Tue, Jan 24, 2006 at 11:47:45AM -0700 I heard the voice of Ken Gunderson, and lo! it spake thus: > > That was his point- precious few of these exist in FOSS, e.g. X, > anything Python based, etc. Don't focus on threading, focus on processing. X is certainly going to gain from multiprocessors, because you've got multiple processes (at least the X server and a client) running. Web servers will gain because you can run things on multiple processors. Me, I'd always take the double. Life's too short to run one process at a time. Dual-core is not remotely as crippled as HT. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.help
