But for this position, you >are certainly correct. It is ugly. Yes. The most I have *EVER* seen from DF is about a 1.4x speedup. This is one of the worst cases. The first thing Chessbase will ask you, of course, is to go to task manager, and look at the CPU time. It is always 100%. (Being both CPU's.) One CPU DF uses 50%. I have no explanation, and it seems no one else does either. I think I was the first to report this back when I first got my 2x1000mhz system. No one even seemed to care, including Chessbase. Very few people have dual systems. And even less have dual AMD's. And even less give a damn about chess, much less DF. Perhaps that's why this problem has gone on for so long, undetected.
