[R] re: smp in Linux

[Kenneth Nordstrom]

A question to all you R-gurus:

Can R (or S-plus, for that matter) make efficient use
of multiple Intel Processors running under Linux (within 
the same PC, not over a net)? 
With the release of the new 2.2 kernel, this would seem 
a interesting and cost-efficient way of boosting the 
computational power of Intel/Linux platforms when using 
R (or S-plus).

Thanks for any wise words,

Kenneth Nordström
