I did another test with a little bit more source code to compile (3 KLOC) in order to make sure that the effect isn't solely the startup of the java vm. Sun Java 6 Update 4: 1 core: real 0m2.346s user 0m2.220s sys 0m0.072s 2 cores: real 0m4.013s user 0m6.980s sys 0m0.192s A rather dramatic difference!?!?
