Are we (still) talking multi-core systems gaining performance by really parallel work ?
You will gain nothing in the work of the GUI framework called by the Lazarus program *if* the Framework software decides to use a semaphore to block multiple thread concurrent working directly when entering any framework function. We can't (easily) know this, but in fact I *suppose* the widget set framework libraries will only block when entering the driver.
But you will gain performance during the LCL's widget code if same would support concurrency (which it currently does not).
