[vlc] Re: Win32 SMP

[Natalia Portillo]

In Win32 the program must select to which processor send the threads, or it
will be whole placed in a single CPU.

I think that video decoding (that is more consuming than audio decoding) can
be placed in a secondary (terciary or so) processor, and audio decoding in
the primary one (or on secondary if there are more than two CPUs).

Does anyone here knows how to do that? ;)
