I just installed matlab 2008a and noticed under "general"
properties "automatic multithreading" is enabled.  I have
some code with some "embarrassingly parallel" for loops that
takes hours to run.  I ran the code with this option enabled
and there was no activity on more than 1 processor, infact
the one processor is only at 20%.  Why would it not use the
other processors?

Thanks

Dave
