WSocket_Synchronized_ResolveHost includes checks like WSocketIsDottedIP() etc. which doesn't require to run in a worker thread. I would start a worker thread only in case wsocket_gethostbyname must be called. If you want to optimize this a bit more you could use a thread pool, since creating threads takes time as well. Perhaps something like TIcsAsyncDnsLookup that I wrote for async name resolution with IPv6 recently, it has a thread pool, however uses the GetAddrInfo() API which was easy to change: http://svn.overbyte.be:8443/svn/ics/branches/icsipv6/Delphi/Vc32/OverbyteIcsWSocket.pas User and password both "ics". -- Arno Garrels -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
