It states that HTT CPUs are used for interrupts if they are detected, even if they aren't used by regular processes. Was this something that just showed up in pre-6.x releases? -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/ Another question that's wondering me is why FreeBSD with the SMP kernel
