Re: How to run multiple instances of Writer simultaneously?

Wow, I'm a bit surprised to read that :-)

I guess in the light of that, multiple processes are the way to go as per my email earlier today... 
Sure hope that Matthew's approach of copying a template tree for a process makes up for the 
performance loss when creating a new user environment.

Tor, I have a feeling that the LO/AOO community has discussed multi-threading before? To complex to 
change? Or not necessary? Do you have more information on this topic?

Thanks!
Jens
