Make use of multi-threaded/ multi-core systems

TomEvans

As far as I can see Zotero currently runs as a single threaded process. Speed could be considerably improved with multi-threaded support. My machine (win 7 64bit, intel c-i7), can run up to 8 threads - if Zotero made use of these then search times, indexing etc would be far faster.

Could this be implemented in a future version?

Even if Zotero were multithreaded, the underlying database wouldn't be, so it wouldn't help too much with search and indexing. But there are probably better ways to speed up these two functions.
