ACK. it's surely in our mind to provide as much information as we can. I'm also= =20 planning on a second dedicated machine, which has a Pentium 4 with=20 HT-technology to provide the SMP-part of the merge-times. In the future,=20 if all is running and the response of the users is good enough, we hope=20 that we can also provide the merge-times for other architectures than=20 x86. By the way, as long as we dont have a second machine with smp-support, it=20 should be possibly to get reasonably accurate results if we multiply the=20 number of cpus and then divide through a factor like 1.2. You can test=20 it, it should be reasonably accurate. But as I said, we are planning on a second machine with smp and also on=20 merge-time information for other architectures.
