Using a separate process may allow some degree of parallel processing. Don't forget that most people today have at least dual CPUs and many have quads or more. It is common today to use threads in programs like this. If you do bring GS into the process maybe keep it a thread. You'd gain a little that way in not having to wait for a process creation and the communication is faster. _______________________________________________ Xcircuit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.opencircuitdesign.com/mailman/listinfo/xcircuit-dev
