Okay, that's done and ps/w etc. now works properly. I'll get hold of top
next.
My final wondering point is wether it's worth or necessary to try another
make world. Maybe it'll work now with a new kvm installed?
Also, do I actually need to recompile programs for them to take full
advantage of more CPU's or does the kernel handle this?
Oh, and does anyone have experience they could share on stability as a
web server ? The web pages at freebsd.org are... underfunded ?
(Obviously I have no idea how SMP works, I got a 2:1 in my advanced computer
architecture course at university hence I'm never going to understand any
real-world problems)
