Reading Multiple Files Over Network

[ReMiNiSc3]

Hey guys,

I am using the boost library to read multiple files over a network. The question is, would a multi-threaded solution increase my overall read time?

Right now, I am just reading the files on-by-one. If I used multiple threads to read multiple files at the same time do you think it would be much faster? I don't think it's the network speed that's bottle necking me- more like read access times.

If so, are there any good references out there for this? Open for suggestions

Thanks
