If you did, didyou see anywhere where the reporter said that they disabled or stopped all other processes on the system before running the tests?... Of course not, so it can aptly be concluded that THOSE tests also had the background tasks running, in BOTH single processor and dual processor systems.

Jim,
Yes i followed the thread. My reply was probably too short. There are lots of other processes running even when VFP was the only application. The OS decides which process runs on which processor. VFP ran faster on a multi processor machine. Does that prove that VFP used the multiple processors, or perhaps VFP kept running on its own processor and lots of the other stuff ran on the other processors. I am inclined to Craigs view and i think you are giving him a hard time.
