single core vs dual core?

[alexsiskahn]

does psremote / dslr remote take advantage of dual cores? or is a 3ghz single processor machine faster than a dual core 2.0ghz machine?

The photobooth layout and printing is all performed in a single thread. However I suspect a dual core processor will probably run faster than a single core because the Windows print spooling etc. could use one core and the photobooth software use the other core.

Thanks. Print spooling is pretty fast on a single core usually between 5 to 10 seconds. I dont' think it's worth it to pay for a dual core than, just to get a booth that is maybe 2 to 6 seconds faster per session.
