Re: Sometimes very slow when creating thread

Thanks Liz, good article,
 but I didn't find an explanation to my problem!?!

To explain my problem a little bit more:
It is exactly the same threaded program running on the same data that
sometimes take 4 seconds to start, and sometimes 3 minutes!
The threading takes place in the beginning of the program and always in
the same way.

Is there any logical reason to way each thread is created in a fraction of
a second during one start of the program and then each takes 30 seconds at
another start of the program. Never in between - its either very quick or
very slow!

???
