Will the LZO compression code in reiser4 be able to use multi-processor systems?

Good point, but it wasn't what I was talking about. I was talking about the compression happening on one CPU, meaning even if it takes most of the CPU to saturate disk throughput, your other CPU is still 100% available, meaning the typical desktop user won't notice their apps running slower, they'll just notice disk access being faster.
