You are right. I've double checked on linux there is just one thread
executing and there is not such a big difference between KMP and
straightforward search.
Just about 10% KMP is faster with my test, but still faster.
I've checked both SMP and non SMP linux (Intel).
Hyperthreading effect is on windows only, I guess, as there
are visible three threads per test process.
I have one amd64 near (I'll check that one too, as soon as admin
sets up account for me on that machine).

Greetings, Bane.
