Hello everybody

I`m running Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Edition on a dual Intel Xeon 2,4 GHz, RAID 0 SCSI system. As you know Xeon procesors have hyperthreading
I am puzzled by the fact that VS is using only 25% of the total CPU power, that is one of the four virtual procesors (half of one real processor)

What can I do for it to use all four virtual processors?

Hi,

I guess IDE is pretty much single threaded.
I don't think that there is anything you can do - it depends on the app.
BTW, it makes sense single thread model for VS.NET as there are not that
much parallel processes within IDE.

If you consume 100% of a real processor, it will appear as 25% use of four
virtual processors. It would not appear as 50% use of four virtual
processors.
