isn't that 4x worse than it should be?

I do not understand it. Maybe someone does?
I've made some tests on 2 core processors, and I have strange results.
Some of 2 core processors got results exactly 2x times worse than they should.
Why?
I have no idea.
But 2.8 Ghz 2 core works exactly like my 1.4 laptop.


Also version of g++ does matter.
