# Does nTop utilize multithreading?

## Question:

Does nTop employ multithreading capabilities to optimize software performance?

## Applies to:

* nTop Blocks

## Answer:

Some nTop blocks can take advantage of multithreading, which is using multiple threads on a single CPU, to speed up the operations.

Below is a list of some of nTop's most commonly used blocks and whether they are capable of multithreading.
