I was really struck by the compilation benchmarks that showed single procs beating dual procs.
I dont have much experience with Linux MP, but I've read that kernel compilations under MP go much faster than single procs, but only when using the -j (or is it -k) switch for the number of compilation jobs. 2 or 3 jobs MP show significant improvements over single jobs.
Do you all think this is the case here?
