While it's true that single-core processors can handle multiple threads, it's not actually the same as multi-threading on a multi-core machine. Basically what happens on a single core system is that the processor rapidly context-switches between the various existing threads according to its task scheduler, it does this so rapidly that it appears all threads are running concurrently, when in reality only 1 thread at a time is being handled. Multiple core systems are capable of running a number of threads proportionate to the number of cores (except with processors capable of hyper-threading).

- Hooked Present/ What ever
- HackThread
- Menu Thread
in the current base each menu will have its own thread, and that can be stress on a processor if to much menus are used. What i guess i can do is like how the Present and stuff have Frame per second, the menu thread can have Menus per second, and using this measurement change the sleep time. Because as more and more menus are being added the MPS will slow, and since the Input Operations and Drawing are all done on the Menu thread a varying Sleep time will keep the Menus well times.
The Menus will be rendered in the Menu thread simply, a static array of Menus are all drawn in a for loop(cant wait till C++ AMP to test that stuff in this base). a Value in the Menu class to tell if the menu is initialized or not.
Note: A lot of people must be saying that I am wasting my time with all this stuff in for these public bases. I will tell u this, I program for fun
, I like to challenge myself. And mostly the VIP people are making they stuff and keeping it all to them self, and forgetting where most of them came from, THE PUBLIC HACK ZONE.
