Tom can you please publicly say whether you disagree or agree with this math.

Bob claims next:
  a) 30% increased speed in nps for SMT for crafty
  b) 3.0 speedup out of 4 processors.

What is his speedup out 4 threads on a dual Xeon then versus 2 threads non-SMT
on the same dual Xeon?

If he shows a speedup in TIME do you agree then that bob's trick is
to not show how many nodes a second he needs for each ply?

Which would mean simply that his 30% speedup in nps is simply not true.
