It may well be true, especially if you count by "applications". But most applications won't benefit from multi-threading. Most of the heavy applications I actually use say they use, or appear to use, multi-threading. Notably Photoshop and Bibble Pro (neither of which runs on Solaris, though). I don't really care if little utilities that only do one thing are single-threaded; I care if the ones that I notice I'm waiting for are multi-threaded. My next desktop system will be a quad-core or better, according to my current plans. -- David Dyer-Bennet, [EMAIL PROTECTED]; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
