I saw this and thought it might be useful to the group. In as much as SAC/SAW have difficulties splitting up processing between multiple cores, it occurred to me that it might be very handy to know which processors are fastest at single-threaded processing. As it happens the venerable Passmark Software processor ratings now provide rankings of that. For instance, if you want to know which laptop processors have the fastest single-threaded performance, you go here:

In theory, at least, if you prevent the other cores from carrying the load, the one with the fastest ranking would do the job the best with the single core that's left.
If you prefer to know that info for desktops or servers instead, click the button associated with them on that same page.
I'm surprised by two things here. The first is that the fastest single-threaded laptop processor is an 8-core, 45W, processor running at 2.4 Ghz. The second is that, in terms of single-threaded speed, laptop processors are so close to desktop and server processors running at much higher clock speeds. Can anyone comment on that?
