q3map2 - can it use multiple cores?

[Clueless Newbie]

Is there a way to configure q3map2 to use multiple cores? I've got four cores in my mac, and q3map2 is only using one of them. So I have two idle cores that could be used by q3map2. (currently compiling a map and I think it'll take around 24 hours to complete)

There's a switch that you can use called 'threads'. This may do it.

oh, I was allways under the impression that it did that automatically in linux/mac.

afaik it only detects and uses multi cpus on windows. anything else and you will have to tell it with -threads #

For me, it always uses 4 threads by default on Linux (2 cores).

That looks right, anyway. But q3map2GUI - which is the app I'm using - doesn't seem to have that switch... hmm..
