Is it ok to use FreeImage from multiple threads? I'm invoking it from a MinGW app.

  Yes, this is OK.
  FreeImage is thread safe, meaning that there's no global variables shared by multiple functions.

  Yep, seems to be working fine in 2 threads on my P4 HT. Much better throughput this way.
  
  Thanks
