The benchmarks I have run with 64-bit applications running under a 64-bit OS (needed to get the extra eight registers) have all seen a 10-15% improvement in performance. Here is a url to some published results as well, http://enterprise.amd.com/downloadables/Bioinformatics_performance.pdf Scratch

Actually, the top utility will track utilization across all CPU's quite nicely. No reason to turn HT off to understand what the system is doing. Start the top program and then type 1 (the number one). This should give a load average by CPU display in the summary area. Matt Donnon wrote: I'm sur

More information is needed to diagnose the performance problem, Run a "vmstat 1" for about 10 seconds while the three programs are running and post the results. Also do a "ps vax" and post the results from that. With the output from those two programs, I can see whether it is CPU or memory bound
