Hi,

As far as I can see, it uses one thread per processor as set through the
init-file.

Here, the generated 'tuning.conf' contains "num-threads: 2", which is
ok, the machine has two cores.

The question is, what differences would compiling with '--with-pthreads'
make? This option came to my view, but I don't know if this would make
anything better.

Best,
Matthias
