RE: [CentOS] CentOS 4.4 smp on Dual Quad Core Xeon

I was astonished at the results of running this on an HT system: #!/usr/bin/perl #use integer; $i = 0; while ($i < 10000) { $j = 0; while ($j < 10000) { ++$j; } ++$i; }

[summer@bilby ~]$

More precisely, two of them together:

time bin/bm.perl&time bin/bm.perl

I don't think anything written in Perl is very cache-friendly, but the HT system performed about as I'd expect dual-core to. Cheers John

Im confused.

And just what were the astonishing results please?
