in reply to Threads slurping a directory and processing before conclusion

If you're (as has been conjectured) on win32 I'd suggest pulling threading then running while watching task manager to see what the distribution of load over cores is.

I think it's probably moot though since you're almost certainly going to be IO bound, not cpu bound.

Make sure you're solving the right problem before adding infrastructure :)
