If by linear you mean a 2 processor box is twice as fast as a 1 processor box, thats malarky. The 2 proc box will be faster than 1, though by how much is debatable, Recent tests between NT and LINUX have favored NT because its smp psupport at the time was better, though now that is debatable. Pleasedon't flame, just repeating read observations.
