RE: NONMEM as a dll

From: "Steven L.

My machine is a Pentium Pro 200 (dual 200 chips), which isn't particularly fast or expensive by today's PC standards. However, ANY pc with a single processor will find other tasks significantly slowed by NONMEM, regardless of processor speed, simply because most CPU cycles are consumed by NONMEM. By contrast, although the NONMEM run is slower on my PC than on a standard 400 MHz Pentium II, the delay is typically only a few minutes, and in the mean time my e-mail, word processing, and other tasks proceed as usual on the other processor, all of which is entirely transparent to the user. Best regards, Steve Shafer
