ROTFL...

Ok. I am the maintainer of the port, and I already added a message to
post-install (together with an update to the latest icc version).

It would be nice if you could send me the results of benchmarks (if
permitted by your employer).

Don't expect the multithreading to have a significant positive impact. A
local computer magazin (http://www.heise.de/iX/) played a little bit
around with it and the result was, that it isn't good for the kernel
scheduler (better performance without multithreading). But it improves
code with mixed integer/floating-point instructions (good speed
improvements (+75%) if you run integer and floating-point code in
parallel).

Bye,
Alexander.
