I don't know how the module may be implemented on Windows. However I do know that Windows is happy to allocate threads for the same process to different CPUs. There are other issues with fork under Windows that may incure a startup cost per fork, but shouldn't make much difference during the subsequent execution of the forked process.

It is good to know that Windows will allocate threads for the same process to different CPUs. As for the other issues, since the strategy that I was suggesting involved lots of forks, that startup cost is relevant.	[reply]
