: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.

:JRS
Resource utilization will not change much. Single cpu machines will
be slightly slower (probably unnoticeably). MP machines should be
considerably faster under heavy system loads. Under light system loads
you will probably not notice any difference.
