[Haskell-cafe] Strange parallel behaviour with Ubuntu Karmic / GHC 6.10.4

Hello,

That was it! Thanks Neil!

When I'm using some number crunching without getTime it works (with
more or less the expected speedup and usage of two cores) on my Ubuntu
9.10, too.

Out of curiosity, the question is still open: Why does the old example
(using getTime) work so much better on an older version of
Ubuntu/RedHat and not on the new ones?


Kind regards,
Michael
