XnView needs Multithreading support for dual-core and quad-core CPU's!
Also making use of SSE,SSE2 and SSE3 if they available would be nice too!!

Added Quad-Core.

I'm hoping XnView 2.0 will have multi-threading for All batch operations, the rest of XnView won't benefit from multi-threading unless you're resizing really massive resolutions

Mmh, just did a conversion job here and XnView (1.95.4) just made use of one core

Would be great if we could specify number of threads in the preferences so that XnView could convert say 4 images at the same time on a quadcore ...

Sorry but I disagree. Stepping through my 6MP photos on a Core2Duo E6600 could be much faster if the image/jpg loading mechanism would use several cores.
AFAIR JPG would be the perfect candidate for a multi core loading as each jpeg block is independent of the others. Therefore the image could be divided easily into 2/4/8 parts which could be then loaded in parallel.
