%I'm currently putting together an upgrade for The Complete FreeBSD
%describing the changes in 3.0.  I have almost nothing on SMP.  As I
%understand it, there isn't much to say, but if anybody could point me
%to some text or tell me of possible gotchas, I'd be grateful.

Not much to say?  :)   Well, SMP works very well for parallel
compiles, at least.  There is a lot of uncertainty now with
the scheduler, for real-time (posix4) and for threads.  But I bought
a box (for work) dedicated to compiles, and am very happy with it.
