Checked it out on one of my dual servers. There is never more than a single process running, emerge, then rsync, then emerge, so the second CPU never gets used. However I did see the second CPU doing some kjournald while data was being written to the filessytem so it's not a total loss on a dual CPU system. :) kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
