Most of my compilations (on Linux, at least) use close to 100% of CPU. Adding more overhead for threading and communication/synchronization can only hurt.
On a single-processor system, adding overhead for multi- threading does reduce performance. On a multi-processor system, the overhead is distributed across all processors, but results in a net gain. For parallelizations pprograms, a 4-way processor might achieve 3X performance improvement. -- Michael Eager [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077
