I have a Dell workstation with 2 processors (quad Xeons, total 8 cores, 4GB of RAM). Empirically, I have found that the "breakeven" point is 5 instances of Prime 95 - if I go past 5 instances, I lose so much iteration time on all running instances that my total throughput drops. If I go to the new version, will it open up 8 instances? I think this would make my machine less effective in the end. Or does the new version manage conflicts and memory usage in such a way that my "breakeven" point might change? I am hesitant to go to v25 for this reason.
