I played around with FFTW's support of multi-threaded FFTs on a
dual-proc (not dual-core) machine a few years ago.  It was slower unless
you were doing a transform with 100,000 points or so.  (Or thereabouts.)

Unless things have changed drastically, it was rather dissapointing and,
obviously, not worth it.
