Muzo,

Re: The only explanation that I can come up with is that context switching between the number of simultaneous threads puts a severe stress on any single processor CPU

Especially with a 20 stage pipeline of P4, it is not very surprising.


That was my first reaction, but since apparently 1.5 GHz P4 outperforms 1 GHz P3 in the same test it seems to suggest that any single processor system would perform poorly on this test.
