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

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.
