You cannot start processing page 500 before you know where page 499
wil end. TeX is not really a kind of application where you would gain
a lot by parallelization. And honestly, I don't remember seing many
applications using both cores. (Plus: I'm happy if other applications
continue to run smoothly instead of being blocked by TeX using 95% of
both processors.)
I did not say to process page 500 before the page 499. I just say use
all power of the multiple processors.
It could be useful for offering typesetting services. I'm thinking about
having a computation service like alpha.wolfram but with ConTeXt. Like
ConTeXt online but benefit from multiple processors....
If you would offer a service, you would get multiple requests at the
same time anyway, so there's no real need for that in this case
(you'll face many more serious problems when offering typesetting
service).
You are right here.
Joking, perhaps you could fix it in Mark VII ;-)
You can try XeTeX if you want to put load on both processors. It does
offer a parallel process as far as I heard,
Is it true?
but then you'll probably
want support for quad-core once you get a better computer :)
