[fpc-devel] Parallel Computing

[Boian Mitov]

True, in their case it is core pool. Another concern is that in multicore 
situation the operating systems tend to use spinlocks for the threads 
instead of context switching locks. This probably will lead to CPU waste if 
locks are used to suspend the threads in the pool.

With best regards,
