Hiya, you can always look into the "taskset" command (not always default with most dists so may need to install the command/package) and set the affinity of process per cpu.<br><br>

That isn't the problem, what the problem is is that you can't say wich process is going to wich cpu, and that means in my case that one cpu was overloaded and one was doing nothing. Because of this there was a high load on my machine because everything had to wait until it can get cpu power… So for a short story… Keep using smp…
