Would dualcore make any difference with DOSBOX?
I'm guessing that while DOSBOX emulates various pieces of a old school PC, it is still single threaded... so it wouldn't make a difference.
Am I on the right track here?
Dualcore is almost useless for DOSBOX. And search. This was discussed before.

IIRC, SDL multithreads sounds but that's about it for DosBox. The only benefit to dual/quad core or dual processors for DosBox is the ability to load other programs while using DosBox.
I wonder if DosBox video recording feature is multithreaded?
Would be neat if one core could do the system emulation and other core could do the sound emulation. Or even have another core do the things like filters/shaders.
Maybe it could sort out stuttering... but keeping sound thread in sync with the system thread would be tricky.
I think that sound was for some time in another thread... It was removed - too much problems...
Again: search - this was certainly dicussed before.
