:On my system I can understand it, it's a 2xP5 with a shared L2 cache on a 
:Neptune chipset - something that isn't known for speed.  Once you get two 
:processors hammering the system bus, *plus* mix in an EISA scsi 
:controller, I could well imagine the memory bus getting thrashed.

    When we started throwing together Duel-P-II machines, we basically
    had to throw away our DEC chipset cards...  I think that the DEC chip
    cards, at least the older ones, have serious PCI spec bugs that cause
    them to operate incorrectly on duel-cpu machines when more then one
    cpu is populated.
