There is no performance advantage in real world applications with multiple processors, and the performance is far worse with 1 processor. The right thing to do is to port the SATA support and new NIC support back to 4.x and support both. 4.x is far superior on a Uniprocessor system and FreeBSD-5+ may be an entire re-write away from ever being any good at MP. Come to terms with it, PLEASE, because it is the case and saying otherwise won't change it. My prediction is that a year from now we'll all be using DragonflyBSD and you guys will be looking for a new bunch of beta-test guinea pigs.
