Which kernel are you running? newer kernels (and newer CPUs) support hyperthreading, which is an intel technology to make a single physical CPU appear as two logical CPUs. http://www.arstechnica.com/paedia/h/hyperthreading/hyperthreading-1.html for more information. You can try passing the 'noht' command line parameter to the kernel to disable hyperthreading, in order to verify this is indeed what you're seeing. -- Muli Ben-Yehuda http://www.mulix.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sctrace strace /bin/foo http://syscalltrack.sf.net/ Quis custodes ipsos custodiet? http://www.mulix.org/cv.html ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
