Actually I use a nice little utility called screen to run mprime with
linux. It has the advantage that you can detach it from your current
virtual console so that it continues to run when you log out. Later you
can call it back to foreground to check output etc. Very handy.
I don't know anything about NTprime but at some point I did compare mprime
and prime95 in my computer (AMD K6 overclocked to 208 MHz) and mprime did
seem to be about 3% faster than prime95. Of course there were no other
programs running at the time. I understand that generally linux does
handle multiple processes better than win95/98. But, as said, I don't have
any information about NT. Anyway, the differences are so small that I
wouldn't care ;)
