>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.".

That does NOT mean the threads will run on different CPUs...in fact, you have to VERY carefully design your application for that to happen. Being that there is LOTS of legacy code in VFP, I doubt that is the case.

>Secondly, EdR offered his opinion but was later told that the observation in question was with a single VFP application and NOTHING ELSE running.

Shut down all running applications on your PC, then open task manager and tell me how many things are really running. The OS runs lots of stuff. There are services that are running. Many other things are going on other than the single VFP app.

>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!

My posts have stated that VFP will not take advantage of the multi-processors, but rather it is the OS and other services that are taking advantage of the CPUs.
