I am running Splus 6.1 Windows on dual hyperthreaded Xeon 2.8G, MSFT 2000
Advanced Server. When I run 1 instance of Splus, CPU utilization is about
35-40% and only one of the 4 logical CPUs- seems to be engaged (according to
the Task Manager). My job runs for let's say 5 minutes. Now, when I run in
parallel a second instance of Splus and run on it a job identical to the 1st
one, the CPU utilization goes up to 80-100% and all 4 logical CPU-s are
engaged but it still takes 10 minutes (instead of the expected 5) to
complete the 2 identical jobs on the 2 separate instances of Splus???
I did create 2 separate project folders for the 2 instances of Splus...
Any insight of what is going on and how to "properly" take advantage of the
"extra" CPU capacity?
Thank you , Tomas
