although the topic is a bit old, i'd like to add the following command;
for a project that involves many cpu-intensive tasks, mainly in
graphics manipulation/-analysing, after alot of testing i finally
ended-up splitting-up different tasks between two seperate projectors
that communicate with the localConnect-object, in order to truely use
both CPU's of the G5.
this to me indicates that director is mainly single-threaded, even
when using multiple windows. maybe i'm wrong, and director is
multithreaded, but just not multi-cpu-aware..
anyway, using two different projectors, for me increased performance
close to 100%.
this can ofcourse only be true on multi-processor setups.

Hi,
Easy question for the Gurus ;o)
If I have a number Timeouts running at the same and they all access
say
the same List.
Does director run them off a single thread or might it possibly use
multiple threads to run them?
Im talking mutual exclusion or critical sections here. Can both my
timeouts modify the same data safely?
There is no provision for critical sections in lingo so I was
hoping it
would only run one timer callback function at a time until it was
completed before it went on to the next one, but that might not be
very
efficient?
Does anybody have any ideas about this type of thing?
Cheers alan.
