Is it realistic for the help files to be accessed as much as the rest of it? I can easily see how it significantly benefits performance to run them as different threads, I'm simply wondering how often it's the case for it to be beneficial to do so.

The help files are accessed very frequently in a Win system, the core IS important, but in a normal Win program (especially MS programs) the help files are accessed more frequently than the actual core...

What can i say, unix in general is a better choice, even the old MS Unix version Xenix...

The problem is, there still are not enough programs for Linux or any other Unix version, but Linux is catching up...

I think the future will have a lot to do with Linux, Perl, MySQL, PHP and Wine... Hopefully wine will die eventually, i do not like that solution... That is how i see it, i could be wrong, but i don't think so...
