Re: Delphi to take advantage of multiple threads within the compiler>

well. not if the image needs to be remapped, since you can only write one address into any given function pointer - ergo if different processes need to map the dll to different addresses, they by definition cannot share the same physical memory image.

OK, I brainstormed with some colleagues and can now testify that our applications
are indeed affected by this.

We have all modified our $imagebase addresses by experimentally determining
the amount of memory needed (using Dependency Walker) and rounding upwards
to the nearest  64 K.

The positive results: Our applications now load noticeably faster, and multiple
applications run concurrently with much less physical memory use !!!


This thread has been *very* useful to me indeed! Thank you all for your input.
