In fact, if your processor has the "nx" bit (look in the "flags") line in /proc/cpuinfo, you will get a performance increase in system calls by using the SMP kernel even on single-processor systems. I don't recall the particulars of this, but there was a thread on fedora-devel a while ago about it if you care to search. (This is one reason SMP is enabled in all kernels in FC6.) -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
