How does ZT take advantage of multiple cores on a PC? i.e. does a multicore PC speed up backtesting, walk-forward optimization or basket trade testing with ZT?

Yes, but you need to split your strategy f.i. by assets, give the sub-strategies individual names, and optimize them with separate Zorro instances. You can then afterwards merge the parameter files with a short script that you can find as example under "file functions".

Zorro does not yet automatically split the script over multiple cores, although this is already prepared in the loop function, and planned for a future version.

Yeah, if you can find a way to split the work up using threads then the OS takes care of allocating them to cores.
