We have several Dell-based systems that are dual-processor capable, but have only one processor. The FreeBSD 4.9 kernels for each system is compiled with SMP support, even though there is only one processor on each system right now. Would this actually reduce performance on a single processor system? I know that SMP kernels have to worry about special locking, and may be doing unnecessary work.
