Yes, it also was an echo-system idea. But we had so many suggestions that we never really settled on it. Then Numsgil went on to dev db3, I was unable to work it and did not understand all the technical mambo jumbo anyway. And EricL did not get a chance either.
However, now Panda is pushing for alga to be fed naturally so the echo system idea may happen anyway, even if it is a little limited.
As far as I know Numsgil will be adding an e-grid to DB3 right?
We can't really use multicore with the current codebase. VB6 just doesn't really offer it as an option
Good news: Compile a VB6 to native on my dual core and it runs twise as fast.
Bad news: If you want to High Performance Computing it (HPC) I have no idea if it is going to work, it will be sweet to try. (yes, you read right, one guy was actually researching for me how to run vb6 executables on a cluster)
