st: Stata/SE vs. Stata/MP

[Friedrich Huebler <huebler@rocketmail.com>]

Suppose I have a computer with an Intel dual-core processor. How much
faster is Stata/MP on such a computer compared to Stata/SE? StataCorp
states on its website and in the Stata/MP Performance Report
(http://stata.com/statamp/report.pdf) that Stata/MP runs 1.4 times
faster on two processors. Does this imply that the speed of Stata/SE
on a dual-core system is the same as on a single-processor system?
