According to the benchmarks it appears to be optimized for MP, so the
name isn't totally silly.
Just before you test linuxBIOS please make certain you have a way to
boot if the BIOS flashing goes wrong. (I.e. a second PLCC rom chip you
can flash linuxBIOS onto), or at least another machine you can flash
it on with a backup image of the old BIOS.
