Hi there,

I've a p4 HT 3,06Ghz, I've HT enabled in the BIOS and in the kernel :

Linux electron 2.6.10-cj5 #6 SMP Fri Mar 4 02:18:08 CET 2005 i686 Mobile
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux .

But it seems that one of my cpus is idle (gkrellm monitor or top) :

Cpu0 : 88.0% us, 12.0% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi,
0.0% si
Cpu1 : 0.0% us, 0.3% sy, 0.0% ni, 99.7% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi,
0.0% si


I'm actually compiling thunderbird with MAKEOPTS="-j3", so , the second
should be used, shouldn't it ?

Are you sure that it is actually compiling multiple files at once?
