Leif,

I haven't caught up on this thread, so don't know if others have already
pointed this fact out to youse:


Per usual... YER ALL HOSED UP...!


You stand corrected...:

(Not really...;-)  AFAIK, the only software that takes advantage of multiple
processors is the for-cost add-on called something like DB2 for Symetric
Multi-Processing.  The OS will split DB queries amongst multiple CPUs for
you, automagically.


That's one area the *nix (and maybe PASE?) just kicks the crap out of
OS/400...  Makes little sense to me, because one of OS/400s greatest
strengths is near-linear performance gains on multi-processors.  IOW, they
should be able to throw a dozen of the oldest processors they can make, and
get some spectacular price/performance, AFAIK, if they took advantage of
this more.


(BTW, thanks for the table, as I'd been wanting to find out what a "23C4"
was...:-)

| But a single program that is CPU-bound only uses one processor. Right?
