well, the correct answer is (as far as my experience i concerned!):
unfortunately, such "old" alpha machines have the main drawback that
if you don't decide to kill them by hand, they never die!!!!!!

I know, but I'm using a 16CPUs shared memory machine, whose single 
processor performance
is much worse than reasonable laptops and workstations, but that shows a 
VERY excellent
performance (in some cases much better than reasonable "these 
days"-clusters) with respect to
the scaling with the number of CPUs.
