multithreaded software?

Does anybody know of linux software that is multithreaded? I'd like to take advantage of dual core processing, particularly for video editing and other media applications, as well as just having a more responsive computer.

I think mplayer uses threaded and portable software.
Probably you can look at the source .
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/poo...c1.orig.tar.gz

Install avidemux, set the number of threads to 2, and use either lavc (libavcodec) or x264 to encode videos. p7zip has multithreading support as well. And mplayer to play videos. If you compile things from source you can cut the compile time in half by running 'make -j2' or '-j3'. Other than that, there are few programs that are multithreaded or that need to be.
