Quick question. I've been reading this as well as past threads and understand the merit and functionality of the new SMP model. However, how much (if any) will Performance on both single and multi cpu machines improve after this change?? Will the new systme use up more resources(ie memory, swap, cpu) in single and multi CPU configurations?? I apologize if this has already been brought up.
