Dear Allin and Jack,
I'have observed some increased efficiency in the built-in multi-core
support during the last few months. Just out of curiosity: has really
anything changed in this direction or is it simply my subjective
impression that the CPU usage has substantially increased running the
same script on the same machine?
For instance, on a modern i5 4-core machine almost 2 cores are
automatically exploited for heavy-loop and heavy-matrix computations. On
an older AMD 2-core machine the CPU usage is slightly lower but still
the 2nd core is at least used up to 40% or so.
Thanks,
Artur
