I think that speaks to the fact that there's a good bit of latent parallelizability at the overall system operation level for what constitutes typical mixes of activities, both those overtly and explicitly commanded by the human user and the plethora of behind-the-scenes processes that interact and coorindate to provide the user's overall computing experience.
Linux will show good SMP. With win2k, I only saw about a 10% increase over 1 proc. With XP it's a little better. Haven't really played with Vista or 7 yet. I hear the BSDs(free I think) have introduced some really kickin SMP code that's supposed to be wicked fast. Haven't had time to play with that either tho... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
