It really doesn't. There's a tool CoolTools I believe that will look at
your work load. Most "normal" configs get all green, i.e. no FP.
The problem is though for app responsiveness, the T2K is about equiv of
a 400 Mhz proc. The big diff is 100 users get the same experience as 10
users. Where your typical x86/64 proc as you add users the experience
goes down. Niagara chips scale really well, they just don't have the
horsepower to give that "pop" when it comes to interactive applications.

It does appear that CDE/GNOME uses some floating point, so only having
one FPU per socket was probably the reason.
The desktop environment uses FP? Am I the only one here who thinks
this is utter madness?
