Does this sentence makes sense?

"Using 4 threads, the dynamic scheduling algorithm, cuts again the execution time in half, and again, its speedup is nearly ideal."

Is the "cut time in half" formal enough?
Also the use of "and again", does make sense?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply!

with "and again", i meant "once more" .

Because in a couple of sentences before this one, I am mentioning the first occurrence of the "ideal speedup".

Do you mean that it cut the execution time in half for a second time

eg
The execution tme was 4 minutes.
It cut it in half, ie 2.
It cut it in half again, ie 1

There are 2 cases! And in both cases the speedup is ideal!

eg you have 2 PC's then you get 1/2 time! you have 4 PC's you get 1/4 time.
Does it make sense?

Thanks again!

Do you mean that there was no penalty due to the overhead of thread management or threads waiting for resources?
I think you mean that the total execution time was inversely related to the number of threads, with no loss.

That information was not included in your original text. Perhaps you should add it.
