CPUID: vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz shows that it is a P4 Xeon, which sucks compared to: vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Genuine Intel(R) CPU @ 2.66GHz which is a Core 2 based Xeon. The tuning required by the P4 is quite different than the Core 2, and it generally performs more poorly due to the length of the pipeline and the expense of pipeline flushes. -ben -- "Time is of no importance, Mr. President, only life is important."
