PMFJI – one other item to consider in the SMP equation. In this month's PC Graphics and Video it was mentioned that beyond 6 processors, SMP starts losing ground to the overhead that the OS has to expend in keeping track of threads. Which doesn't surprise me a bit. I have difficulty doing two things at once, let alone six.
