Note: For SMP to work out you want as few hops between CPUs per transaction. Moving data from one CPU to the other is quite costly, effectively stalling the other CPU. To perform you want the CPUs to process unrelated transactions in parallel. The fewer things the CPUs has to say to each other the better. Additionally shared locks is the worst case of this as they stall every CPU in the system to synchronize the state.. Regards Henrik
