Re^3: how to multiply an array of number as fast as posible

What performance boost could you possibly get? The CPU is already working at 100% calculating the number. That's why threads makes no sense in this case.

Ahem! From the OP.

i have a dual core proc

If he decided to calculate this in arbitrary precision, using both his CPU's would make a huge difference.

I am under the impression that Perl threads are bound to one CPU. Is that wrong?	[reply]
