   I wouldn't install any SNAP on a critical and heavily loaded server. It is
not release code - just a snapshot. -stable SNAPs are generally stable, and
except for the changes to pmap.c, it should perform relatively well. I
probably sound like I'm contradicting myself. :-) We're only a few weeks away
from a release and there should be another -stable SNAP out before then. If
you're in a hurry, then install the -stable SNAP and then update your sources
to the latest -stable via SUP.
