suse could recognize mutiple CPU, but those mutiple CPU couldn’t work at the same time. And the speed is much slower than WIN 7 while running some big programmes. How to enable CPU work stimutaneously?
Thank you very much.
The default kernel supports SMP (Symmetric multi-processing) and thus takes advantage of multiple CPUs where possible - however not all programs are designed to take advantage of this.
Since you did not specify “what” programs you were referring to, we can only guess.

Also… just fyi… this is a duplicate post from one made in the
enterprise forums.

You said the same thing I said in the other forum.
It’s cool.
As they say:
Great minds think the same. Two fools seldom differ! ;-
but my another question is why suse looks much slower than Win 7? I opened all the desktop effect in win7 but it seems that win7 is still much faster than suse. It is very slow when I input the username and password to login suse.
Thank you very much.
With the information you’ve provided so far I can say the sky is blue and the sun is pretty darn hot, so if you want a proper answer you’ll have to provide with your hardware specifications, what driver you’re using for your display adapter and what software upgrades you’ve done or haven’t done.
My last Windows at home was Win95, … so I can’t comment on the speed of Win7. Nor comment on any Windows versions in between (win98, 98ME, 98SE, NT, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista).
But reference openSUSE speed, you could remove beagle to improve the speed. Also, with some graphic cards (such as my nVidia GTX 260 ) I have discovered there is a SIGNIFICANT difference in speed between the openGL graphic driver and the nVidia proprietary graphic driver. The nVidia proprietary driver is simply much faster.
My Intel Core i7 PC with the GTX260 nVidia card using the openGL graphic driver, was significantly slower than an ancient athlon-1100 with a nVidia FX5200 using the openGL graphic driver. In fact, the athlon-1100 was “blowing the drawers” off of the Intel Core i7 with both PCs using that driver.
I installed the nVidia proprietary graphic driver on my Intel Core i7 PC and now the Intel Core i7 blows the drawers off the athlon-1100.
In this case, it appears the openGL driver does not handle the GTX 260 graphic card well.
So in addition to CPU/resource hogging applications like beagle, other reasons for a slow down can be a driver that is not optimal.
Yes, the proprietary nVidia driver is much faster.
By the by, oldcpu knows about more Windo$ versions that I know
