It still seems a little slow. Have you tried compiling a version of bash tuned for that machine? > At 1.2GHz per core (sure, it looks like 32 cores to OS but you should still > be able to use 1 of 4 cores at full speed), Depends on the workload. For example, for some of the work I do, 100% CPU usage translates to 15-20% of cycles actually doing something useful and the remaining 80-85% of the time the processor is stalled waiting on memory or branching. In this case you can use all four cores at 'full speed' simultaneously. As with all performance related things - it depends on what you are trying to do and what about that you want to measure.
