However, it's not unlikely that other programs are more effective in exploiting that feature. You might even hesitate to speculate that many years of experience with SMP could be beneficial in that regard. Could it be that strength differences between two SMP capable programs on a single cpu system are equalized or even reversed by adding processors? I don't know, do you? Mogens.
