Well, I have been involved in two operating system projects, one as recent as last year -- and I've actually, among other things, written a protected mode boot-strap loader for a multi-threaded-system, so I'm probably more familiar with how cpu's do context switching and SMP on Intel's and AMD's than most folks here.... That said, in general the answer would be yes. It it possible to do such with only one thread (the parent process) but it would be so inefficient (and such a great struggle to do otherwise) with a large server app like CF that they most likely would have to take the easy and scalable way. Btw, I just looked and a fresh install of CF5 here is using 38 threads at the moment. :) --min ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
