Is the server program pervasively multi-threaded?

Here SysOps can list their MultiPlayer server info and users can send feedback to their SysOps. Or just talk about the MultiPlayer servers they play on. This is not about MultiPlayer in general - please use the MultiPlayer Forum for that!

Is the server program pervasively multi-threaded?

Please do not inundate this thread with psycho-babble with your hunches or "i think..."s. Lets try to stick to fact.

Does anyone have solid information on if the FLServer program is multithreaded? In other words, was it desgined to take full advantage of a dual processor system? If you are running a multiple processor FL server, can you please check your usage under a full load of FL and see if both processors are being used more or less equally? If you have any written information where Digital Anvil says the server will make complete use of two processors, can you please post a link to it here?

Please don't post saying "all programs take advantage of two processors if you have them" because that is absolutely not true, anyone who states otherwise is seriously un-informed.

While I am not running a dual proc for my server, I am running a Hyperthreaded CPU which acts like a dual proc.

FLServer utlizes both the CPU and the extra APU unit equally.

Sorry for the delay in replying to this. I can state absolutely that the two processors are being utilized more or less equally under load on my server. Stats are: Compaq DL380G2 dual 1.4G's Windows 2000 Adv. Server. I'm running about 24 folks, alot of whom now are in their high 30's and running missions out of the Border World systems, so there's a whole lot of comput'n going on. The program itself starts to yellow at about 50% proc. usage, if that helps at all.

My private server is running Dual PII-450s without much of a problem. I had 4 players on it last week in totally different systems and it had no trouble at all. I've even watched the Task Manager CPU graph and it shows that both Procs are being used identically.
