I used critical sections when I wrote the parallel PC version of PSYCHO. But I only used them for sharing information about things like pv and alpha/beta between the processors. I didn't fancy using them to access anything like a shared hash table. However I do now that critical sections are by far the most lightweight of the thread protection objects and their overhead is nothing to that of mutexes and semaphores, I believe. Ian Kennedy
