[fpc-pascal] Threading vs Parallelism ?

Hello. Some developers treat me as dinosaur because I use threads in place of doing parallelism. Huh, ok, but why parallelism is better and how to do it with fpc ? Thanks. Fre;D - Many thanks ;-) -- View this message in context:

@Karoly Balogh (Charlie/SGR) Perfect, I have now all the arguments to defend the "Dinosaur Threading" choice. Thanks. Fre;D - Many thanks ;-) -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/Threading-vs-Parallelism-tp5728018p5728025.html Sent from the
