Hi,

got my first Dual Processor Mac (1.42 GHz) Friday, and I'm quite
impressed with the speed. 

Now I (believe to) remember that RB's apps run only on one processor,
even if there are multiple threads. But runing a heavy data import job,
the CPU monitor shows both CPUs with roughly the same amount of usage. 

The application's main thread does virtually nothing, while a single
Thread object does the main job of importing data into a Valentina DB.
What exactly am I seeing here? Doe RB distribute the load onto both
CPUs, or is Valentina possibly running on the other CPU in that case?

It's not that I would gain anything from knowing the answer, but I'm
curious anyway. :)

Cheers,
   Frank+++

P.S. My apologies for cross-posting, but I thought maybe the cause of
this is Valentina.
