I think their data or test is a bit broken.  I have dual PIV's here, both my
xeon, and a dual 3.6 in the lab.  My scaling from 1 to 2 threads (no
hyper-threading turned on) is way better than 1.67X using 2 threads.

For example, on my dual xeon, a quick test produced 1.51M nps using a single
processor, 2.89M using both.  Which is a 1.91X increase in NPS.

On a 4-way 850, I have large tests that produce 2.32M for one cpu, 8.69M for
four cpus, which is 3.75X faster.  Comparing apples to apples, the dual 850 NPS
was 4.53M, which turns into 1.95X faster.  So for me, the dual xeon and the dual
opteron produce almost identical NPS scaling, although the opteron is about 2x
faster per cpu...
