Hyperthreading and SMP

Does WINE have any problem with either Hyperthreading or SMP? I've found that locking the Tribes Vengeance dedicated server to a single logical CPU seems to give me better performance as the server fills with players. CPU usage seems significantly lower (45% versus 65%). Is this likely to be a

There's a thread going on the fedora-devel list about exec-shield, legacy_va_layout, and WINE: Some WINE experts might want to weigh in over there. Are these still issues with the current WINE release?

I've got an app that seems to be crashing during shutdown. (Tribes Vengeance dedicated server) I'm running it detached inside a screen session, and I don't want the debugger to automatically launch when the app crashes. I just want the thing to die when I send it a "quit" command. Currently I'v
