You wrote: the SMP kernel is only slower if you run it on a single processor machine since in that case you are doing a layer of dispatch checking which will never find an additional processor. After I wrote: This is probably why SMT is being activated only for servers (that are more likely to run concurrent threads), or SMP workstations (that already have to load the slower kernel to support the second processor). Are we in agreement or disagreement? Just curious.
