I develop a MFC application with Visual Studio 6.0. &nbsp;If is a very intensive program (lots of calculations) and uses onidle() to grab any spare system resources and run an analysis. &nbsp;This is fine, except that running other programs is sluggish.<br />
<br />
We have been told that with a dual core machine, we could add &quot;a line of code&quot; which would mean our application could run in the background nicely while the user gets on with other stuff and less interference. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is this correct, and if so, any tips on the one line of code that will help us?!<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Improve application speed with Dual Core

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
