Adam,

There is always a penality when MP code is run on only one cpu. It may be small, but it's there... there is overhead of thread scheduling and synchronization.

Adam, Re: "When using the multithreaded library, my
customer's application ran about 1.7x-1.8x faster on two processors than on one."

Thanks for sharing these results. Did you try the multithreaded library on more than two CPU's? If so, any results you can share?

Tony
