Need advice on using multithreading on a script

[Chainmax]

I'm currently processing some clips with variants of the following script:

DirectShowSource("X:\wherever\somevideo",fps=23.976,convertfps=true,audio=false)

ConvertToYV12()

Deblock_QED_MT2(quant1=35,aOff1=16,quant2=45,aOff2=6)

RemoveGrain(mode=5)

DeGrainMedian()

FFT3DFilter(sigma=3,plane=3,bw=32,bh=32,bt=3,ow=16,oh=16)

GaussResize(800,448)

#dull=last
#sharp=dull.LimitedSharpenFaster(SMode=4,Strength=1000,wide=true,soft=75)
#Soothe(sharp,dull,25)
LimitedSharpenFaster(SMode=4)

nnediresize2x(true,true,true)

source=last
denoised=DegrainMedian(mode=2).FFT3DFilter(sigma=3,plane=3,bw=32,bh=32,bt=3,ow=16,oh=16)
backward_vec2 = MVAnalyse(denoised,isb = true, delta = 2, pel = 2, overlap=4, sharp=1, idx = 1)
backward_vec1 = MVAnalyse(denoised,isb = true, delta = 1, pel = 2, overlap=4, sharp=1, idx = 1)
forward_vec1 = MVAnalyse(denoised,isb = false, delta = 1, pel = 2, overlap=4, sharp=1, idx = 1)
forward_vec2 = MVAnalyse(denoised,isb = false, delta = 2, pel = 2, overlap=4, sharp=1, idx = 1)
MVDegrain2(source,backward_vec1,forward_vec1,backward_vec2,forward_vec2,thSAD=400,idx=2)

Spline36Resize(480,272)

LimitedSharpenFaster(SMode=4,Strength=200)

Tweak(sat=1.1)

gradfun2db(thr=2.4)

AddGrainC(5,2)

#Levels(0,1,255,16,235)

I was meaning to try multithreaded Avisynth and never got around to it, until the latest encode looked like it would take several hours to complete.
Now, I seem to recall that there were a couple of methods to do so (MT 0.7 + custom avisynth and some other method I can't recall), so I was wondering if you could tell me what were the differences between them and how to implement those on my script taking into account that my computer is Athlon X2-based. Thanks in advance.

The simplest method is to use SetMTMode(2) as the first line in your script, it will automatically work out how many cores your processor has and uses them or you can specify by hand SetMTMode(2,2)

Remember you have to copy the MT altered avisynth.dll to yoir system32 directory, its all explained in the two links above

I'll check those links out, thanks :) http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/wink/thumb.gif.
