in reply to faster with threads?

What I found is that RedHat9 will allocate one CPU to do computation and the other as a glorified IO manager. This is without threading. Personally, I would see if doing it without threading is fast enough. If it is, who cares if you can make it faster??

Remember - a requirement that most people forget to clarify is "How fast is fast enough?". The pursuit of perfection is harmful to good deliverables.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
