Go up one level in this thread


Doesn't change the fact that few have a dual system. And that sole fact make it
a real gamble to spend the time needed to get a good SMP program running. The
conversion is a one shot deal. You get the higher performance only once. And you
risk getting overtaken by other programmers.  And if you don't feel you will
sell many extra copies. Why do it? Unless you are really stumped and don't have
any idea of how to improve your program. The only real motivation might be a
shot at winning the world championship. But how much higher will your chances be
SMP or not?
