Furthermore, AVG 8 seems to degrade performance on many systems in ways that earlier versions didn't. Definitely time for a change - current favourite seems to be Avast, which friends speak highly of: - http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html Fully agree.

Does it make a difference to what you are doing? I haven't tried it yet myself to see if there is a performance gain, so would be interested to know of others' experiences. Dreea,

Have you tried the June CTP yet? Does it make a difference to what you are doing? I haven’t tried it yet myself to see if there is a performance gain, so would be interested to know of others’ experiences.

As for the parallel processing time it's better than the sequential time, but only after the parrallel.do/for are already called once(first time -> bad time, all the next times-> expected time). I guess this is due to a one-time start-up cost on first usage. Thanks for replies Well, I replace Parallel.For with Parallel.Do and it seems like a different thread is being used for each method call .
