Sureky the 'perfect' line ought to be linear?  If the performance was 
perfectly linear, then the 'pages generated' ought to be G times the 
number (virtual) processors, where G is the gradient of the graph.  In 
such a case the graph will go through the origin (o,o), but you graph 
does not show this. 

I'm a bit confused, what is the 'perfect' supposed to be?

Thanks

David
