Hello list, Here's a question I had in my mind for a long time :
How does GNOME handle dual core processors? I am working as a computer salesman and tech. I see that almost all new computer have a dual core processor in it. The price drop in processors makes the Intel Pentium D 805 2.66Ghz affordable, at about 105 $CA. Maybe it's there, but I didn't see anything about it. There's not even a lib to tell you if your proc is a single, dual or bunch of cores. I think it would be usefull in a lot of gnome applications. For example, if EOG knew that the computer was dual-core, it would start rendering the third image in another thread, so that when people go, "Next Next Next", it would be really fast. I would also put everything background app in the second core, like rhythmbox. Just tell me if it's there or not.. if not, I think I will try to work this out as a contribution.
