Hi Xianyi,

Thanks, I know that and have already tried builds with NUM_THREADS=4 which
performs much better on a  4 cores cpu.
Will you recommend using this build also on 2 cores cpus ? I don't how to
verify whether this build use only 2 threads on a 2 cores cpu but I have
noticed some (about 15%) performance degradation on the core i3-540 I have
tested.
