A killer app for -3 would be multi-core support (and the perf

Absolutely THE killer app for either -2 or -3. The fact that multi-core 
processors are now the defacto standard in any box makes this more 
important by the day IMHO. Being able to do sustained IO across multiple 
Gb NICs will absolutely require it. This is the single biggest 
performance enhancement that could be implemented. So where does 
multi-core support fall on either roadmap?
