2 remarks:

(1) You mentioned /GL -- that is link-time code genration, not POGO. Did you
really compiled with POGO, e.g. built instrumented version, trained it, and then
built optimized one?

(2) Output that you provided says "System is SMP, not NUMA". When I start Carfty
of Windows Server on AMD64 it correctly recognizes it as NUMA. I am not sure who
is guilty here -- Windows XP or BIOS settings. If later than there should be a
way to turn NUMA support on.

Thanks,
Eugene
