John, I've been digging further round the mailing lists and CVS logs of files mentioned, Peter's commit to mpapic.c seems to say it'll partially work, = but using John Baldwin's Hyperthreading patches will make it work properly? = I believe these have been commited to -STABLE in the run up to 4.8-RELEASE anyhow. Now I'm assuming that means having options HTT in the kernel = config as well, which I currently don't have. I'm not sure what effect either = way hyperthreading will have on a high read query, small content database on MySQL, which is what these machines will do, but I'd rather enable hypthreading than have one cpu if that's the solution.
