In most of cases if you divide the number for 2processors by 2,you get the
number for one processor.

The numbers are big so it means that
the speedup is in most cases 1.999-2.001 and there are few cases when there is a
big difference.

The question is if it is logical.

Is there a reason to expect the speed up from a cray to have smaller variance
relative to the speed up from regular programs and
Is there a reason to see most time 1.999-2.001 numbers of speed up and in few
cases to see significantly lower numbers?
