[Wien] .machines problem

Dear W2k team,
On my desk are two identical computers alpha and beta of 8 threads each.

How is .machines set up such that k-point parallelization goes twice as 
fast using alpha & beta compared with using single alpha?

Unfortunately, my testing UG 5.5.4 responds with error diagnostics.

When I try the following .machines with and without #,
   1:alpha
   #1:beta
   1:alpha
   #1:beta
   1:alpha
   #1:beta
   1:alpha
   #1:beta
   1:alpha
   #1:beta
   1:alpha
   #1:beta
   1:alpha
   #1:beta
   1:alpha
   #1:beta
   granularity:1
   extrafine:1
computing time comes out similar in both cases. I would like to see 
sixteen threads executing twice as fast as eight.

Regards,
John Rundgren KTH
