Scaling noise

[Larry McVoy]

I've frequently tried to make the point that all the scaling for lots of
processors is nonsense.  Mr Dell says it better:

    "Eight-way (servers) are less than 1 percent of the market and shrinking
    pretty dramatically," Dell said. "If our competitors want to claim
    they're No. 1 in eight-ways, that's fine. We want to lead the market
    with two-way and four-way (processor machines)."

Tell me again that it is a good idea to screw up uniprocessor performance
for 64 way machines.  Great idea, that.  Go Dinosaurs!
