I'm wonder, and perhap some you linux buffs could help. HOw great is the performance gain from SMP? I have been debating this with a friend. I know linux has muli-threaded capability, but like the kernal isn't explicitly multithreaded(or is it), yeah you can compile it for multiple processors, and the same with other application without explicitly using the threads library, sort of creating multiple processes.. Are these process indpendent of each other in a way that a noticable benefit would be gained from SMP. I'm new to the detail of SMP so any information would be nice
