1 x # of cpu or less is best, meaning instructions dont wait to be processed.

anything below 2 per cpu is quite alright in my book.

Dont be fooled though, HyperThreading CPUs are not two cpus... they're more like 1.10-1.25 CPUs...
Thanks - the part about instructions not waiting brought it home for me. That was always one of those "amorphous" numbers.. had no idea what it really reflected.
