Can VCDGear take advantage of SMP?
If you run many CPU intensive programs in the background, VCDGear will run fine on SMP and it should not take up a large load. However, if you do not have SMP, VCDGear will take up a reasonable load. But having more than one processor will not double or triple the speed at which VCDGear runs. I suggest that you select the priority level (with GUI VCDGear 2.0) that you want VCDGear to run at. That way, you can balance how much processing power you want over speed (depending on how many tasks you are running in the background).
