Nope, here's an excerpt (one message) from the thread:
This machine is used exclusively for processing large VFP batches. It has a gig of Ram and a raid 5 array. I guarantee there is no streaming music or video, no intensive graphics on it. I do notice that before the second processor large processes would drive the processor up to 100% utilizations -- so I guess it was just disk activity that was hitting the processor that hard.

The thread is an interesting one and well worth reading. Even more important is remembering its content.

Cheers
