Building a good scheduler for small, let alone large
SMP or S2MP machines doesn't happen overnight. It took
even Sun years to get where they are now, and I still
think the IRIX scheduler is better.

You are right to say that 'scaling to 16 processors
requires no magic', but doing it so you can actually use the
machines usefully with good throughput, instead of just to
enable bragging, is slightly more complex ;).
