Dunno...still say 30-50% increase isn't bad.  Are you quoting data from two
CPU's or two cores?  I don't think there are any true four core CPU's out
yet, have to wait for AMD for that one.

But the gain drops off rapidly. I have seen figures like this...

2 processors 150% = 100% + 50%

4 processors 187% = 100% + 50% + 25% + 12%

8 processors 198% = 100% + 50% + 25% + 12% + 6% + 3% + 1.5% + 0.75%

etc.
