Tested using Brian Rogers program from LKML:
Current 8.10 chokes albeit doesn't hang, system becomes unusable.
Current Jaunty (of 4.4.2009) gets a little choppy when four instances of the program runs at the same time,.
Jaunty with patched kernel fares best, no choppines when four instances simultaneously running.
Used test case:
Boinc running on four cores worldcommunitygrid, Firefox with Flash x64 playing a video from Myspace, launching the test program from console.
