The paper (for better or for worse) is a rehash of a 2001 paper, and doesn't take a lot of the more recent work into account -- for example, the substantial performance improvements since that time realized through use of UMA, VM system lockdown, migration to a Giant-free storage subsystem, network stack locking, etc. It also omits ongoing research into SMP-optimized scheduling, hyperthreading, et al. So it's a good historical reference to early parts of the SMPng work, but doesn't take into account a lot of the work since that time. We should be careful, when linking to and publicizing this paper, to make sure this is clearly pointed out.
