[Good reasons about the real problems of multithreading and lots of old messages removed] While that type of usage would be interesting for people with multicore machines (like me) I don't think that this is the main reason why people talk about multithreading. The real reason might me, that they mean reentrancy with different contexts - like being able to run two tabs with different capture files in each at the same time. ciao Joerg -- Joerg Mayer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.
