Hi, Mark,

Async I/O is available on Windows, at least NT. It's not an easy topic. If you
think you already know enough about operating systems in general, I suggest you
read David Solomon's "Inside WindowsNT". For a lab test, launch Performance
Monitor on your NT box and look at the counters for Cache.

I'm not sure by "single thread management" whether you mean NT can't have
multiple processes or Oracle on NT runs as one thread. The former is obviously
wrong. The latter is a design issue inside Oracle Corporation and the question
as to why was asked on this forum before without an answer (without an answer I
can remember, that is).

To the best of my knowledge there are no Windows based system that can take
advantage of this, single thread management can be enough a problem
sometimes..

But, I may be wrong.. List?
