That is nearly always a good sign, I think. I'm partial to the new OpenMP dependency, but I don't know if it would cause problems for Android or iOS platforms. I do wonder though why OpenMP can do a better job than the current code. Surely OpenMP also spawns threads in the background and uses conditions / mutexes behind the scenes. What is it in the current synchronization that makes it so inefficient? Cheers, Marcus
