I run gentoo on i3 (double core), c2 (double core), athlon, and pentium3.
Only on athlon and pentium3 the speed is really annoying. So increasing
the speed on the two faster processors by a factor 1.3 by parallelization,
probably even at the cost of slightly decreasing the speed on the
slower processors (perhaps even dramatically if the algorithm then needs
more swap usage which already occurs now with 512MB RAM)
will altogether be perhaps even counterproductive for my use case.
