A story that lets you wait until you're 2/3 through before it tells you,
"oh yes, software has to be specially written to take full advantage
of multiprocessors?"  This fact takes a lil' bit away from the
authors' earthshaking revelation, no?  How nice that they tested with one
app only, and didn't mention cache stalls or the possible effects of two
identical tasks on same.

In short, fegh.  Nice to know that Mac journalists have even shabbier
standards than PC ones.  I wouldn't have thought....  Nah, I'm not shocked.
