Hi all,
        I would like to know what would happen if using snow I create a cluster
of size 50, for example using makeCluster(50,type='SOCK') on a machine
with 2 Cores and run a function. Does snow run 25 and 25 functions on
each of my 2 "real" processors or it just run 50 functions in one
processor ?

It will run the 50 in parallel and is not advisable to do so on a machine with 3 cores - a slow down due to "administrative" overhead is expected.

Thanks.
