Some solutions are new to me. So, I'll be taking a deeper look into those options. I have to say that they all still sound a bit like work-arounds. (Although this could very well be due to my unworthy knowledge. ;) ) I still think it would be nice if there would be something natively in PHP to which you could say: "This is for doing multithreading in PHP". It wouldn't nessacerily have to work exaclty the same way as it does with other languages. Maybe something like PCNTL that works cross-platform. Or something like what Sara is working on. Or maybe a special fork() function that minimizes overhead and has some PHP-optimized feedback features? Loads of respect to you all!, Bart
