Re: Threading to boost Firefox on multi-core chips
Isn't this entirely obvious?

I'd have expected a major mob like firefox to already have been threaded ... my .. how behind the times we are?

Threading was popular, or at least the "in Thing", before I started programmed in Uni .. way back in 1997
It's a bit sad that something that is so easily threadable .. isn't
