So like the many before me I'm trying to get Master of Magic running fast enough where Next Turn happens as quick as possible on even the most crowded of maps.

I opened up task manager while on a very crowded map and click next turn and the CPU usage does not go to 100%, actually not even close. I have MAX cycles on in the conf file, i disabled all the useless stuff like pcspeaker or anything that doesn't effect MoM. Basically I want to make sure Dosbox is using all the resources it possibly can for best performance.

Computer Specs:
Windows 7 Beta (This happened with XP too)
1.66 Ghz Intel Centrino Duo
2 gb ram
Nvidia Geforce 7900 GS

This paragraph leads to my next question, Does Dosbox utilize multiple cores, I would love to know if I had the quad core i7 if that would make my Dosbox gaming even better.

As a side note has anyone ever got this to be an instant next turn running Dosbox? I plan to build a computer this fall and put about 1600 dollars into it (Already have monitor). I would hope with a computer of that power (With hopefully the highest end intel i7 if affordable) I can finally have the instant Next Turn I remember back from my Pentium 2 days.
