I'm running the ELF version on my Tomcat II (dual P120, 512kb cache). On
an otherwise idle box, I get a consistent 122K keys/sec running one copy
of rc5-client-linux-i586 -m. Running 2 simultaneously, I get a range of
26K keys/sec/process to just over 50K keys/sec/process.
I assume running one is so much faster because it doesn't have to share
the L2 cache...but why the huge performance range when running 2? This is
with 2.0.27-smp and libc 5.4.17.
