I don't know, but I don't think so. I don't think it's been tried much on 
multi-processor machines at all. A HyperThreading machine might be the 
closest thing.

The Windows port might have other problems though... I think all Windows 
machines we have are for support staff and students and those are all 
standard PCs, so I'm afraid I can't test this.

I've been experiencing crashes in KDE on the machine though, seemingly 
related to the OpenGL drivers. I'll go complain to the support people 
about it; maybe it's not an issue with Allegro afterall. I'll also try 
with the C only version of the library just in case it's related to the 
asm code (I think Allegro used to run fine on a dual processor SUN 
machine).
