It may be that the latency was advertised as so low that Windows 
switched into C3 and back too often.

Also, the problem possibly wasn't SMP related but rather TPR related -- 
when the idle loop called acpi to do the mode switches, that caused many 
tpr hits.  Perhaps with a FlexPriority enabled processor it would work 
better.
