Re: What are you running that requires mp?

Heck, the way interpreted code in browsers eats cycles, all you need to be doing is to have two windows open, with one a browser, and be working in both to get some benefits from MP.

WinPrinters that render on the PC instead of the printer can just about halt a single processor machine while they build pages - ever try to go right back to working on a big document after sending a draft to the printer and have the machine be unresponsive until the pages start printing?

Certainly, you can live without MP, but if the incremental cost is trivial, and it removes some of those annoying, rhythm wrecking pauses that interfere with what you're doing on the PC, why not go for it?
