<Actually writing multi-threaded apps is very easy.> So is recompiling. ;-) but one has to write a setup application which detects the cpu type and installs the right binary. One also has to test multiple versions of the same app because there is always compiler bug possibility. Some companies don't even use the optimization flags because it is difficult to debug such binaries and most compiler bugs are in the aggressive optimization options. It is one thing to take a single app to which you have the source, compile it to P4 and benchmark it and it is a entirely different thing to ship a CD to a customer with that binary on it. I'd be very surprised if a vast majority of VC++ using ISVs aren't using "blend" option with modest optimizations. Muzo
