Nicely done. What are you developing on, gaming machines? Why have you trashed the OS to strengthen SMP computing when you don't even know what chipsets are required to run the latest SMP processors? What's really scary is that you'd rather come up with 35 reasons not to do something than to spend 10 minutes trying to find out what you don't know. I posted exactly why 5.x is slower than 4.x, and its not "because its bigger", you blubbering moron. Thats the kind of answer I'd expect from my secretary.
