...but the key is that Java software is inherently able to take full advantage of the thread-level parallelism, while C++/C software is not. Proggy, without wanting to mire the whole "thread" in technical detail, why is this so? I never learned Java, but glancing at it way back when, I recall seeing thread classes and thread objects and so forth. That is, essentially API's that a programmer would use to create explicit concurrent execution paths in an application. If programs aren't coded using these objects (assuming I am remembering correctly what I saw), what is it about Java that makes it inherently able to use thread-level parallelism? --QS
