>OK... I looked at the thread you mentioned. There is no indication in that thread that VFP is splitting its processing threads between the two processors. I agree with Ed's comments that the single processor was busy with other tasks. Adding a second allowed the OS to split those tasks. You won't see VFP split processing between the two CPUs.

Are you sure we're reading the same thread???
First, early in the thread, Erik Moore offered the following:"
User code in VFP always runs in a single thread, and so your processes can be said to be single threaded, but VFP itself is multithreaded, and often runs internal tasks using 2 or 3 threads.".
Secondly, EdR offered his opinion but was later told that the observation in question was with a single VFP application and NOTHING ELSE running.
We have a CLEAR observation that the same VFP application ran more than twice as fast on a dual processor system having nothing else running on it yet you stand by your posts!
Please, offer something tangible and accurate to back it up.
