That *isn't* what I did, and *isn't* what Floyd did.

I ran a Kernel compile first with normal single job, then with 
multiple jobs. I was comparing before and after on a single machine. 
So did Floyd.

I ran the same commands on another higher spec system (With exact same 
kernel installed) to see what *relative* advantage "multi threading" 
might give.

This was to demonstrate the relative advantage to be gained by using 
"multi threading" on a single CPU system and a SMP system. It wasn't 
absolute speed I was looking at or comparing. I was looking at the 
difference between multi and single threading.

Cheers,
Michael
