By broke, I mean that they don't scale well due to cache effects. I think it may just be a size thing, but it might also be a cache coherency protocol ineffeciencies as well. The articles I've seen show that for typical workloads, people with two celerons were getting in the 1.5x range, while people with PIIs were getting 1.8x or so.
