#1.  DF sucks at SMP.  I don't care what _ANYONE_ says.  I have the proof.  Your
speedup on DF is going to be VERY small, if ANY at all.  I've said this on here
100 times.

#2.  Use Crafty or Shredder.  They are the best SMP'ers.  DJ is also a fine
tester.  See what kind of speedup you get with them.

#3.  Look at your task manager, and look at CPU usage.  100% is both CPU's.  50%
is 1.  Don't expect to see 200%.
