But the _right_ choice was Shredder from the start, since it is also SMP capable (I don't know that it can use 8 cpus however as there is no info on that). If it could not, and an 8-way program was required, I would have picked Ferret since it had to play off with Shredder at the last WCCC, and would have been the WCCC champion had it won. Tiger really didn't belong in the discussion if SMP was a stated requirement by the sponsors.
