It looks like that HyperThreading (HT) Pentium4's are ALWAYS claiming less credit then other machines for the same workunit. Why? Is it maybe because of HT? It looks to me as a bug!

Nope, just the way the bench marks works, and you usually get more credit, cause your score is the lowest so you get the middle score..... A silly way to do things but what the hey it is for the SCIENCE any way.... ;o)

So long Paul, it has been a hell of a ride.

Park your ego's, fire up the computers, Science YES, Credits No.
