yes. on the "power" mips boxes it did:
http://www.fywss.com/plan9/plan9v2faq.html#smp
if you spend some time with the code, you'll notice that it's
designed for a fair number of processors.
acme doesn't always clear the right margin to compensate for
the different amount of right-margin slop due to different
character widths. in this case ">" is very wide and won't fit
in the space that "n" did. so the n is mistakenly shown where
it shouldn't be.

i wouldn't suspect that one would want to.
the higher clock rate allows more precise
scheduling. the extra overhead should be
unnoticable on a 2.6ghz processor, except via
stats.

it's perfectly reasonable to leave code in for testing purposes
