Two processors doesn't make you faster, just makes the ammount of things
you can do at your existing speed greater.
Most of the time dual processors that I see in use are used for heavy
duity calculations, where one CPU does all the calculating while the
other CPU handles the OS and other such stuff. That is simplified of
course. Web servers can also benefit from multi processor systems as
they can run off slower chips but they need a lot of CPU time to handle
large numbers of requests.
