You can doubt all you want.  The plain fact is you said things like  
200-400% and the tests and commentary did not support that.  You also  
inferred that a 2 CPU system in SMP mode would overall be able to do  
less work than a 1 CPU system in UP mode.   Again, you have given no  
evidence that this is true and the stuff you quoted did not support  
that.  It did say that there is overhead in the SMP code that makes  
things less efficient and that the overhead is more than comparable  
OSes, at least for the Sparc T1 stuff.

You are the idiot, Mr. Thom.  You may be intellectually smart but you  
are a blooming idiot when it comes to public discourse.  And I will  
take the advice given earlier, to stop feeding the trolls -- you are  
a supreme troll.

I may make 2 recommendations:

#1 read "How to win friends and influence people" .  Here is a quick  
synopsis.  <http://www.mrdata.net/Amazon/Carnegie/friends.htm>

#2 learn how to use your email program and to trim posts you reply to.
