We've had this discussion about dispatching different RB threads to
different CPUs being technically difficult and unlikely to happen in
RB anytime soon (or am I wrong?).
So the alternative would be to have my host app launch a faceless
slave app, and let the OS run the 2nd app on the 2nd CPU/core.
Question is: how can I pass data to this slave app? Doing it via a
file is not an option because in my case they are large image files
so the time spent copying the data to a file would cancel any dual-
CPU processing advantage. Is it possible to "inform" a 2nd running
process of a data pointer in another process for the former to work
on (ie one process accessing data in another one's heap, don't know
if "heap" is still in use)?
Peter.
