Not really true, all threads are bearing the load, it is just that due to elasticity of material first one has the most, last one has the least load. I have formulas to calculate, what percentage of the load does each thread take somewhere in my notes from last year. Basically the rule of thumb is that first three threads take approximately 75% of the load and it does not make much sense to have more than 8-10 threads. -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minimize network downtime and maximize team effectiveness.
