Yes. > So if the threads operate over separate > connections then wouldn't SS be able to use multiple CPUs? The threading was designed for a single CPU machine so they don't make any effort to share data structures. Multi-threaded, yes. But only one thread can run at any one time. That's what's great about V3 - threads running in parallel with a shared database page cache. Cheers, An >
