For example, your dual was 1.7X faster than my single 450. But the clocks show it should be 1.8X faster. Going on these numbers all your speed up is from the faster CPU, not the duality. The other odd thing about your numbers. Your system CPUsecs was 0.94. But the elapsed time was only 0.88? That also implies that both CPUs were involved. Thanks.
