Are you sure that multi-threaded apps are distributed across 
processors by thread? My understanding is that it is _processes_, not 
_threads_, that are distributed across processors in a multi-
processor environment, but then again, given your intimate knowledge 
of the MS world I could be on dodgy ground!
