Subject: SMP changes from 3.0 to 3.3?

At work we have 18 or so web servers runing FreeBSD 3.0 on daul PIIs.
When they see very high loads (~300+) the SMP starts do get confused
and things randomly fail.

Were there signifigant SMP changes from 3.0-RELEASE to 3.3-RELEASE
that may make SMP more stable at high loads?  Are their any signifiant
SMP changes at all from 3.0-RELEASE to 3.3-RELEASE?

Or should I just go try and read the comit logs and see if I can
make any sense of this my self?  Last time I tried, I didn't
get to far :(

Thanks much.
