One of the workstations here has 4 CPU's. If you run 1 computation on it the machine is not faster than the other workstations. However, if you run 4 computations on it then all 4 get 100% CPU time instead of 25%. This is useful on systems with lots of users who run CPU intensive apps. Mark van Hoeij
