Uh, I was more talking of performance issues. I've just rebuilt most of
our boxes with 4.8-STABLE. As I wanted to only do the make buildworld
and make buildkernel on one machine and export that, I used SMP options
in the kernel.

All of the machines booted fine. About half of them are uniprocessor. I
was just wondering if I am liable to see any performance issues as a
result of this.

Thanks,
