I wanted to find out whether HT actually provides a boost for the current DF client under Linux (somebody else can test Windows, I don't feel like dealing with GUI overhead and a bunch of useless processes taking up resources

)

Plan: I figured I needed to complete roughly four full sets to get results I could be reasonably confident in. 1 set/client 4x clients, 2 sets/client 2x clients (HT still on), 2 sets/client 2x clients (HT off).
If somebody has input/criticism on my methods/assumptions lmk.

So...I started with the run of 4x clients on 4x virtual CPUs under Fedora Core 1 (2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp)

Total run time: 258575s (71:49:35)
Client 0: full cycle, 0:2931; 37931
Client 1: full cycle, 0:1754; 36754
Client 2: 248:29; 34829
Client 3: full cycle, 0:461; 35461
Total: 144975 structures
Avg rate: 33.64 structures/min

Working on 2 sets/client 2x clients (HT still on) right now...hopefully I'll finish before the CASP protein switch.
