[Thinlinc-technical] Low Cost Android Thin Client.

[Peter Astrand]

The ThinLinc client does not use multiple threads, but there are separate 
processes for encryption, graphics, and the different subsystems such as 
audio, smart card etc. Since encryption and graphics are the most 
demanding tasks, the client will make good use of at least two cores. More 
cores than that can give additional performance but the difference will 
not be that big.

Regards,
Peter
