> Only Hyperthreading with single-core or a real dual-core/SMP-system?
I ran the test on my single-core hyperthreaded system.  If you have a
true dual-core system I'd be curious to hear your results.
  After running in 60% of the time by splitting in half, sorting,
then merging the two halves, I tried burying the tasking inside
a quicksort.  On the first partitioning, one of the partitions goes
to a separate task.  That ran around 75%, perhaps because the
partitions are likely not the same size.
