Running Delphi Tasks In Threads - Thread Pool Implementation In OTL - An Example Project

in Threading in Delphi :: The problem I had to solve is how to make file processing as fast as possible. Having a bunch of files (from 500 to 2000+) I have to process them (let's call this "scanning"). The sequential approach (one after another) proven to be too slow. Machines have more cores today and the idea to have this file scanning running in multiple threads is something that must speed up the entire process.

Running file "scanning" in threads is what I need - to control the number of threads running at a time - thus, a Delphi thread pool implementation is what I am looking for.
