As stated earlier by Duncan (in what I thought was a great explanation!);

"If you are using only a single-core AMD64, you'll want SMP
off, because altho the kernel will work with it on, it'll be more
bloated than it needs to be."

This just means the physical size of the kernel will be larger than it
needs to be, and consume more memory. It will have no impact on overall
system performance.
