For the typical road-warrior scenario (one server, many clients) you are probably right that a single user won't benefit much from data-channel threading. However, in a high-capacity site-to-site link, many concurrent connection by many users are handled by a single connection instance. In this case threading would enable processing multiple network packets concurrently. Though that does not speed up processing of a single packet, it will speed up the total connection almost linear to the number of cores. -Steffan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Infragistics Professional Build stunning WinForms apps today!
