I believe you will find that this runs as a single thread, so your 25% = 100% of a single CPU - it IS "multi-processor capable" (otherwise it wouldn't run :-), but work would be required which I think IBM are unlikely to undertake.
One way you COULD boost CPU usage to 50% would be to upgrade to a dual 3.8Ghz system ..... but I'm guessing that isn't an option Ross Ferris Stamina Software Visage > Better by Design! >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-u2- >[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jjuser ud2 >Sent: Saturday, 23 December 2006 5:50 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: [U2]UniData and Multithreading for udtsort.exe on Windows Server >2003 > >Happy Holidays people *<:o) > >I have Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 and four slow >processors(~700mhz) in a server.
