Anyone in support know if VDJ will utilize multiple processors or will the entire application be bound to a single processor. If it stays bound to a single proc, is there any known problem running on a system with 2 active processors?

Is there no one in support who has any idea if VDJ supports a second processor or not?

According to my knowledges, VDJ don't control your processor but Windows... Maybe I'm wrong

I doubt there is much difference to the logical cpu usage in HT P4's. Therefore you can expect more responsive UI when VDJ is analyzing/loading a song, compared to non-smp/non-ht machines.

I think we may all be missing the point. If VDJ supports multiple processors, that would mean at the least, that it is a multi-threaded application. It might mean that the part of the program that loads and analyzes the song runs in a seperate thread. It might mean that the part of the program that updates the waveform window while music is playing - this part might run in a seperate thread. Each deck's playback might be in a seperate thread. If this is how the program is written, then great. It would support multiple processors and probably perform better too. This would mean that songs would load faster and the waveform display would not stutter as much when loading a song on a deck.
If on the other hand, the program was written monolithcialy, in one big event loop, then you could have 20 processors in your machine and it would not be any faster because VDJ could only utilize one of those 20 processors.
But there is no way to know this easily, but the people who wrote the software sure would know. Too bad they are mum on the topic.

The new analyse of the bpm is multi-threading, it looks like so much, because before v2.06 vdj was freezing during this action
