Several years ago I did some benchmarking to decide whether it was worthwhile to ship Merced vs. McKinley optimized kernels as well as UP vs. SMP kernels. The conclusion at the time was that the performance degradations of running a McKinley SMP kernel on a UP Merced machine were negligible. This was with 2.4 but I doubt it has changed much. -- Martin K. Petersen http://mkp.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
