Re: How to wait for thread?

Brett,

Well, you mentioned it yourself. You are on a single cpu. Because of
this, the tasks are all sharing the CPU. Each thread will get a slice of
CPU time.

Using threads doesn't guarantee that your program will run faster. Even
if you had a multi-cpu system, it isn't guaranteed. You could have slower
performance due to context switches, for example.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. That seems to be working fine. I'm running different task on
each thread. It is taking the same amount of time as if I were doing
everything on the same thread. Here's what I'm doing in the
LoadObjects class:

thrd1 = new Thread( delegate( )
{
//do something here
} );

...and so on for the others

Why would it take the same amount of time? This is a single cpu (Intel
Pentium D 2.8Ghz) WinXP box.

Thanks,
Brett
