Hello,

I have a couple boxes upgrading from single CPU to dual CPUs.

After I recompile the kernel with SMP support, do I have to
recompile all the system daemons (www, ftp, mail) for better
performance, or will the new kernel be able to run two different
threads on two CPUs simulteneously, thus giving me a performance
boost without a major recompile?

It would be really great if I don't have to recompile all the
system software.. but it just sounds too easy to be true.

- From my experience, top shows threads on both CPUs after going
SMP without re-doing most of the system, but is it better to
recompile anyway?

I hope this question makes sense.

The systems in question run 3.2-R (with scsi).

Andriss
