Namebench software might need an update. 6 threads / 4 threads. I am on an 8-core AMD Cpu. #8

Hello

When I run Namebench software to look for a DNS, I see the threads that it runs. 6 threads and 4 threads.

Threads usually means how many processor cores. I have an 8-core AMD Cpu. I am not able to adjust Namebench to run on 8 cores. Would it be possible if the Namebench software was updated to use all 8 threads or 8 cores?

Thanks.

+1 It's taking me way over an hour to run. It's doing "Checking nameserver avaliablity (6 threads) [1593/4515]"
