It will be great for doing builds. We work on multiple large projects (1 to 5 million SLOC) all compiled using command line tools and we are not allowed to use threaded compiling with the "-j" option in make. A single release might require anywhere from 6-10 unique compiles. While I always have multiple command lines open running the different compiles for each project, It will be great to cut the time in half.
I am seriously looking forward to that.
The downside is.... Since people,eknow I can compile much faster than other people, more people will be asking me to do basic build manager stuff:-(
Correct me if I am wrong, It sounds like the video processing performance of the Pro appears to be less than the regular Imac mainly due to the fact the software is not optimize for the new Pro Imac processors. If this is the case and the software uses the processors to their full extent, will the Pro be much faster?
