I don't think that's going to be a performance boost ? Nor do I. I don't see one kernel binary ever being able to support both UP and SMP (unless the UP version takes the performance hit). Its a struggle just to do it with the same sources! I do see most of the 'minor' SMP options being made runtime, but only within the context of an SMP only kernel. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
