Joel, that's a good question with wwc. I know the ISAPI part of wwc will take advantage of multi-processors but I'm not convinced the .EXE .VFP. servers do. I'm pretty sure that .VFP. mtdlls do, though, in addition to the ISAPI part(asp.dll). I'm not an expert on the internals, though. Maybe somebody like Christoph or Calvin could jump in and clear this up...

From the book: If you expect to need more than two instances of your Web Connection application to handle the server load, it would be a good idea to configure this machine with dual processors. It is best to load each processor with 2-3 COM servers. More than this results in diminishing returns.
