I have a customer who runs a process which is essentially chugging through a huge DBF and doing some processing for each record. This is taking quite a while on their hardware, like hours. It struck me that this is an ideal application for parallelism. So I've knocked up a quick test that uses ParalleFox with each worker processing a chunk of the DBF file. It seems to work fine. Anyone using this library in production ?
Alan,
The author is definitely using it though he's not on ProFox.
In my tests it's worked quite well. But nothing I've used in production yet.

Joel Leach is giving us a demo of ParallelFox *right now*in our MadFox User Group. He uses it in production.
