I am running SMP with SMT scheduling and I am satisfied that it works well. I do a lot of compiling usually with the make -j3 option. While this is going in the background I see little if any impact to system responsiveness while I am doing other tasks. I did recompile the kernel with P4 specific processor selected to get a few optimizations and the system does run a bit faster. Jerry
