So don't bother messing about with threads

ok , but how do i go about utilizing my computer resources then. since now i am only using one thread to do the task and i have 23 left. and since my processing time is long i thought the best way to increase the speed would be to thread the process. unfortunatly input data splitting is not an option. maybe forking would be but shared memory problem seams more difficult that with threads. isn't it??
