Faster, Soul Master
I like to call it "software SLI":

>set OSDPROCESSORS=2

Average speed: 63.88% (89 seconds)

In terms of actual performance on my 2.4GHz Core 2 laptop (64-bit version
for obvious reasons), Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey now runs 100% except
for the occasional zooms. The Carnevil clown is close to 100% as
well. San Francisco Rush gets about 40-50% in-game, and Gauntlet
Legends runs at about 50% speed. Rather playable, in fact.
