Hi Chris
I'm curious how much work you get out of your second processor. This
freebsdbox I'm on has the dual Abit Celeron. I've found to put the
second processor to work generally requires more effort than to leave it alone.
The first cpu can be 95% employed and the second will be at 0% unless you
start another intensive task while the first is still running. This was true
for me on Linux 2.2 kernels also. I've moved to single processor Athlon.
Under JACK the second processor generally gets to do all the non-dsp work
(UIs, disk i/o etc.), so it is quite busy.
There is the possibility to split the JACK tasks among the available
processors, but no-ones really looked at it, its not really neccesary.
