just got back from a good cup of coffee and some smalltalk with a bunch
of friends.
i just took a dive into the top code and guess what. it already supports
SMP. the developer (who works for redhat) added it since year 2000.
although, it is not enabled by default. to enabled just add the
LC (last CPU used) field. you can do this by pressing 'f' then 'Y'.
well, that means no patching for me tonight.
