6 The only time I can think of multithreading being a advantage would be
7 if you have multiple processors or multi-core chip. You should also
8 consider the server load. If you don't process that much, I wouldn't
9 bother starting a Crusade to change your SQL server if it isn't going
10 to give you some worthwhile ROI.

12 I'd have to know more about your implementation to make a definitive
13 recommendation. However, just to restate, if you have a high-load
14 server that also has multiple cores or multiple processors, I'd
15 consider making use of a multi-threaded product. Otherwise? I
16 wouldn't (personally) bother with it.
