- Wrong. The number of events per second (null or otherwise) depends on the speed
- of your computer. That might make your scaling a little more difficult as there
- will not be any definite maximum/minimum. There will be a statistical min and max but that's a little out of my realm.
-
- It makes sense when you think about it. You wouldn't want your Quadra 950 just
- passing time before letting an application receive a null event. And you'd have
- a hard time getting 60 events per second on a plus.
-
- As for determining CPU load-- I think you would need tru multiprocessing in order
- to know more than multifinder friendliness.
-
- Good luck.
