Thanks for this hint.

I rebuilt gcc with
./configure --enable-threads=yes
make
make install

and it solved my intermittent problems with running/compiling the iperf
package (uses threads and C++ libs).

Is there a reason this is not the default?

Tim

P.S. why is:

$ nice -n -1 nice
0

Yet the adjusted priorities are clearly occuring when you look at the
windows task manager?
