 !!!  ENVI-met up to and including 4.2 only uses one thread for the simulation (see next 2 FAQ's). Hence, if your system has more than one CPU core, ENVI-met only uses one of the CPU cores. Although this single core is used a 100%, the overall usage is only 50% (or 25% if you have 4 cores, and so on) if the other cores are without tasks.  !!!  ENVI-met up to and including 4.2 only uses one thread for the simulation (see next 2 FAQ's).
