That almost certainly has nothing to do with how many CPUs your system
has, since rm -rf is a single process running on a single core.
I wonder if I'm seeing this too. Running super-smack on a 2 x quad
core 1.6GHz Dell 1950 I get about 40000 qps, whereas on a 2 x dual
core 3.0GHz box I've seen 80000 qps.
Please, let's try to stay focused :) rm -rf has nothing to do with
super-smack and vice versa.

It is not very surprising. super-smack is not a good SMP benchmark, it
does stupid things like 1-byte I/O, so it is not very scalable nor a
good model of real-world database activity. Accounting for your CPUs
being twice as fast on the dual core, it roughly says that the benchmark
is not scaling beyond 4 CPUs, which is in line with my own observations.
