Wow, I'm a bit surprised to read that :-)

I guess in the light of that, multiple processes are the way to go as per my 
email earlier today... Sure hope that Matthew's approach of copying a template 
tree for a process makes up for the performance loss when creating a new user 
environment.

Tor, I have a feeling that the LO/AOO community has discussed multi-threading 
before? To complex to change? Or not necessary? Do you have more information on 
this topic?

Thanks!
Jens
