A quote from O'Reilly* Windows DevCenter.comrelating to CFinder utility:

"CFinder is a nice little free tool for quickly analyzing the degree to which a Windows program executes concurrently in a specific run (or set of runs). Its a clear step up from the simple timing of execution instances that I applied for years to test the effect of edits to my multithreaded applications. I think Ill keep it!"
