* Your thoughts, as a fellow designer, are appreciated here... for accuracies' sake @ least!

(... & yes, it's largely about this very question from folks here, same topic/idea/question in that one (but, I went "over-geek" on it I think))...

APK

P.S.=> No, not as far as mutexes/semaphores for message passing/processing/blocking, but, pretty close... still, I think the point's there! adb22791's here's idea is much like mine on this subject... depends on what you do, BUT, I think we utilize it pretty well today, just based on multithreaded app design (what I call "implicitly SMP ready code" vs. what I call "explicitly SMP ready code" (SetProcessAffinity API calls & self=scheduled code + CPU detections etc.))... apk
