AFAIK MS4W doesn't multi-thread - actually there is one proccess per request.
The good news is that being able to serve multiple request I parallel is not a MapServer issue but an OS issue. So if you OS can detect multiple cores it will execute processes I parallel on the different cores. Therefore MapServer doesn't need to multi-thread for you to serve multiple request I parallel. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J.J.

I noticed many "mapserver.exe" image names in the task manager on my server. Assuming each image name corresponds with each request or thread, will the OS delegate the processes to other CPU cores if available? I currently only have a single core Xeon, but am wondering if a multi-core CPU could be beneficial with Apache and Mapserver (MS4W). Thanks
