I had a 6.34GB rar file in 7 parts, and inside it was an ISO 6.34GB file. It took me 4 mins and 40 secs with WinRar to extract it. The same time needed with the 1 core active and with 8 cores active!! It supposed that WinRar supports multi-threading from v3.60 and later. Is this a joke or the time of extraction is Ok? * +

Maybe because of where you extracted it to? ... I mean reading and writing on the same drive. I can't really remember the average time it takes me to extract a 6gb file. It could be the way and what was used to archive it. * +

I'm sure 8 cores would help a lot if extracting from one SSD to another. Download a game or something? * +

This file is a game, on my desktop and extracted to desktop again. The weird is that it took the same time with 1 core and with 8 cores, the cores were working at 10% max, almost idle... * +

Admin can use the percentage symbol . Not fair. Anyway, maybe it's just a bottle neck because you're reading and writing on the same drive. * +

I think that if i extract it in another hard drive the time will be longer Lets try it..... * +

Well, i extracted it to another drive and it took me now 2 mins/35secs. * +

The WinRar has a ''Benchmark and hardware test'' to check if the multithreading improves the performance. According to this test, the multithreading actually works
