Thomas & Al,

You're both right. The dual Xeons are hyperthreaded, making them appear as 4 processors.

To make this even stranger, I tried running it on a less beefy server (Single 3.0Ghz P4 (non-Xeon, but still with HT) with 1GB RAM). It beat the dual-Xeon machine by 20%. Isn't zat vierd?

Thanks,

-Matt
