I'm not sure if you're complicating the issue or simplifying it too much. Here are the reasons why the PII/300 is faster than the P5/200: 1) higher clock speed (50% faster) 2) improved core (~50% faster) 3) faster L2 cache (~100% faster) Now, when program X scales exceptionally well, the most important factor is probably the faster L2 cache, simply because of the percentages above. That should explain my original post on the subject. -Tom
