Hi thomas,
To be honest, I do think it matters to have dual processors for VFP applications for the following reason.
Most of the time, the bottleneck isn't really VFP itself but some other IO like:
- Screen refreshes
- Hard drive I/O
Sure, most (native) queries won't run significantly faster at all, however, most I/O bottleneck are significantly reduced. So if a large batch of updates have to be written from the cache to disk, the OS could perform this faster. Having the luxury of a dual processor system, I can only say (from my limeted experience though) that the responsiveness of the whole system has improved dramatically. In my applications, startup, interactions with 3rd party com libraries, general responsiveness have improved dramatically.
Walter,
