I don't see this limit on my computer. I'm currently running the lmbench with a new fork connector patch (one that enable/disable fork connector) on an SMP computer. I will send results and the new patch tomorrow because the test takes a while... I'm using a small patch provided by Evgeniy and not included in the 2.6.11-rc4-mm1 tree.
