It's not Linux specific in the sense that it has to do with the HT design (shared caches for two HT siblings) and all OSes could suffer from it. It might be Linux specific in that the problem might be exhibited on Linux but not on other OSes, due to scheduling decisions, for example. YMMV. -- Muli Ben-Yehuda http://www.mulix.org
