Now, one might ask, will both processors be used equally by the OS ? I think that most of the time it will, but on some occasion it will not (ie. When a Tread need way more cpu than all the others). In all case, I don't think it is a big issue in your case, since this housekeeping we are talking about can be reduced to a tiny fraction of all the cpu time you have. Mathieu P.
