Hi Mike, I have an four-core Intel i7, with hyperthreading. I did some tests when I first got it, and chose to set gnubg to use 8 threads.
I also set priorty to "idle" so that gnubg doesn't swallow all the resources when I'm running a rollout. Hope this helps. -- Ian -----Original Message----- From: bug-gnubg-bounces+ian.shaw=riverauto.co...@gnu.org [mailto:bug-gnubg-bounces+ian.shaw=riverauto.co...@gnu.org] On Behalf Of M. J.

Most of these sources, I fear, refer to CPUs that do not have hyperthreading. I have a 4-core CPU. With hyperthreading (each core runs 2 threads), it has 8 threads. So, is the recommended setting for me 4 or 8?
