I was working on a server application that was single-threaded and the
only app running. We added a second processor and had a measurable
increase in performance, around 15%. This was on a DEC Alpha, running
VMS. This was with no changes to the application. The App was disk
I/O intensive, if that helps.
It depends on how your OS farms the kernel functions out to the other
processors. The same is certainly true on NT most of the time. Best to
check out references to his particular OS. As always YMMV. :)
