Suit yourself.  how many times did we talk about this stuff?  Ten times on
ICC?  How many emails?  Perhaps, for all I know, I "thought" "max overhead"
and wrote "overhead".  I would think that since you continually tell me what
is wrong with my design (copying too much, smp_lock is killing me on > 2
processors, and all that sort of incorrect nonsense) that you would know that
the complete TREE structure is not copied.  I knew it.  I know it so well I
don't think about it.  That is where there _is_ a CopyTo/FromSMP() set of
functions, so that only the critical stuff is copied.

What should I say about your numbers?:::

"bob, your speedup on a dual on the CB positions is only 1.01".  -wrong

"bob, your SMP version is _way_ slower than your non-SMP version."  -wrong

"Bob you can't possibly get more than 1.4 speedup on a dual.  I compiled
it on my machine and proofed it."   -wrong

"GCP, you must reduce the amount of stuff you copy to be efficient like
Crafty."  -wrong

"Bob, you are copying so much, that is obviously why your parallel speedup
is barely over 1.0 on a dual."  -wrong

How long do I continue such nonsensical quotes?  All came directly from you,
you know.  All are wrong.

Shall I go on?
