Multi-threading has be an ADMB development priority for quite a while. Dave  
Fournier has made lot of progress over the last year and some prelminary  
results were presented in the June ADMB developer workshop in Seattle. This  
document provides a more rigorous assessment of the efficacy of using  
pthreads in ADMB models. The results show that there is a considerable  
performance advantage in multi core machines.

The current version of the code is available for checkout on the ADMB  
Subversion server svn+ssh://admb-project.org/branches/threaded2 Please give  
it a try. If nobody wants to test it, why are we doing it?

Cheers (and apologies for double posting),
John
