On the Core 2 Duo machine is the kernel seeing it as two processors or one. cat /proc/cpuinfo It it is seeing it as two, try taskset 0x00000001 gzip -t -v backup_ams_1.tar.gz It would be interesting it was a core 2 duo problem with 9.3 I have seen one other very minor error when 9.3 could sense two cores but it only exhibited itself in some video processing (MythTV stuff). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
