Coming from someone sitting infront of an SMP dual P2-450, it may on paper
perhaps - but my real life experience certainly doesn't bear this out...

This isn't really a question for a FreeBSD forum now is it anyway? - Besides,
our FreeBSD servers run rings around our NT servers anyday - that's why they
outnumber them 12:1 :-)  [In our experience, etc. + normal anti-flame blurb
etc. :)]
