Hi Jeremy,

No crack: you can see the variation graphically.  Because bug 3666[1] 
has become stale, I sent a winetest report[2] from an SMP machine to 
demonstrate problems running Wine on the terminal server at our office: 
a Dual AMD Opteron with Fedora Core 5 x86 (32-bit software only).  Then, 
I sent another report from a single CPU machine.  The former report had 
many more failures.

(Later, I suppose should run the tests on the same machine with an SMP 
kernel and a normal kernel.)
