I would also look at Intel's TBB and compare performance. You may find that it is a drop-in replacement that is both faster and more general.
I have heard good things about Intel's TBB. I may take a detailed look at it. I am resisting doing so because: 1. I already use the BOOST libraries. It is a pain to require my clients to install yet another library. 2. The BOOST licence is a lot more "free" than the GPL used by TBB. I am a little surprised by the responses to my post. I believe I have identified a significant gap in the BOOST offerings which could be closed with a few lines of code. Since this is a BOOST developer's newsgroup I did not expect members to suggest using other libraries. James
