Is there any specific output you'd like to have? I've already enabled the cores, and in 5 minutes after booting OpenBSD (today's snapshot) with bsd.mp, the left side of the laptop was hot enough to put water on a slow boil. I've been up with Linuxmint 17 for almost 20 minutes with all cores enabled, and my laptop has cooled down to the point where it feels like I'm running OpenBSD with a single processor. I never complained, because performance didn't suffer. Even if it were otherwise, I still wouldn't complain, because you guys deal with more than I would be willing to entertain from userland. I would have simply purchased the right hardware and quietly got about my work. If you want anything, just let me know, even if it's just to satisfy your curiosity. Gilbert
