Were you having fun with the date or is something wrong?

Think you could so some bencharks on how well linux does on a 4 cpu
system? Few people use Linux on 4 cpu boxen, so performance numbers are
hard to find. Linux performs very well on two cpu boxen.

Because of this lack of data, there is more ammo for the FUD bringers.
Several times I've heard that 'Linux only supports 2 cpus' or 'Linux
doesnt scale well past two cpus'.
