Hi, Two computational intensive processes running at the same time each get greater than 99% of the cpu, according to the top program. I only have a single processor but I use the smp kernel as the cpu supports hyperthreading. Does this mean that a single process can only use half the cpu? Might it be better to not use the smp kernel in this case? Thanks for any info, Richard -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
