Hi,
I have installed MetaTrader 4 multiple times on Lubuntu 15.10. All instances work fine, but it appears that all instances run on just one single core of my multicore CPU.
Questions:
1) How can I find out on which core any single instance is running?
2) Can I specifically tell Lubuntu/Wine to run an instance on a specific core?
Thanks in advance

You can do both in htop. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/one ... top.1.html

Wow, great!!!
I played with that and it is indeed a very handy tool. First thing I found out is that all CPU-cores are actually being used. Thats good. Also I can change the CPU-core assignment per MetaTrader Instance.
One more question though: With htop i can change the CPU assignments AFTER the program is already running.
How would I tell Lubuntu/Wine to START it with using a specific CPU right from the start?
Why do I want to do this? There are rumours that MetaTrader 4 actually runs more efficient when one instance is limited to just one CPU-core.

Use taskset -c <processor> at the beginning of the command line. http://www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/taskset1.html
