In the documentation on the threads library it says that the threads implementation is shared time on only a single processor. Is that for VM and system threads, or are the POSIX threads able to take advantage of multiple processors? I would think they would be able to because (unless I'm mistaken) they're just wrappers around the C system calls... --Jonathan
