First a quick explanation of what "multi-threading" is. Multi threading is a way for one program to do multiple things at the same time without having to return to a "control from one bit of code to another.).
Think of things this way? Even if JAWS is not multi-threaded, you are attempting to run multiple applications each of which has at least one thread (JAWS + what even application jaws is speaking for.) Also I am fairly sure from the behavior people saw in JAWS 6 that at least the TTS engine is a separate thread or application. Also don't forget all those other applications your computer is running. I did a quick check right now and my XP box has 72 programs listed in its processes tab. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 5:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and dual core processors it will run, but doesn't have multi threading capability.
