DragonFly BSD evaluation

[Graaf_van_Vlaanderen]

I successfully installed DragonFly BSD on a Tyan S2892. There are however several issues:

1. The kernel only sees 3GB of the 4GB of memory. I think this is a typical i86 desease, which also exists in FreeBSD. I guess to solve this a kernel recompile is required...or the AMD64 version if it would be available in DragonFly BSD

2. The DragonFly BSD kernel apparently only sees one core of the total 4 CPU cores available: two dual core Operon 275 CPUs or the CPU load spreading is simply wrong.

Here is a test that proves this, by running a GNU Octave script (see below) that measures the calculation time.
In the first test I just ran one script, the second time the script was run two times at the same time.

Elapsed time for a 100X100 matrix:

Single run in FreeBSD (AMD64): 74s
Single run in DragonFlyBSD: 66s

Two concurrent runs in FreeBSD (AMD64): 74s for each run
Two concurrent runs in DragonFlyBSD: 132s for each run

FreeBSD is doing what you expect, spread the load, while DragonFlyBSD seems to put to different processes in one core.

Any thoughts?
