I disagree. In my experience critical sections only employ a spin-count per entrance into the block. TCriticalSection is a particialar method to ensure a code block is only accessed by one thread at a time. I strongly believe it does not ensure a "core stay" during execution. See the link at wikipedia. It clearly explains the issue of multi-core situations. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
