I have been getting similar results and I have lots of CPU you
time left on both single/dual/8/16 and 24 processor boxes. In fact
on a single
processor box and can open multiple scp2 sessions and they don't
conflict with each other for processor time. There is just a lot
of processor
left. It is almost if scp2 has been slowed on purpose to prevent
it from using
two much cpu time.
