Default VMWare/SUSe/SMP question

It used to be in the config section of the smp program that you could first select the core priority(idle/low), then the percent of useage. I just installed the new linuz smp beta client and it does indeed allow me to pick core priority, but it doesnt let me pick the percent load. This is a problem because it only uses 50% and i need to get 100% out of it to benchmark. Is there any way to force it to use 100% now?

With the new client, did you remember to use the -smp flag?

As said, are you using the ./fah6 -smp?
Without the -smp you will only utilize 50%
