Currently I don't I load the plugin (dll) and call its process function sequentially.. with threads would I need to have the thread load getprocaddress execute unload? Or can I load once, then spawn lots of threads to do the process function?
The reason for this is if a slow module is being called it wastes time for another module that does something totally different since the processing is sequential; much like a pop server that has to handle mail from 3 different users one at a time!
