cool - thanks.

if people care about the last 5% performance, they still have several
options:
o build your own kernel
o run HPUX

I've not done or seen any lmbench perf results recently but before hpux
was 10x faster on context switch/task related stuff.  And X11 server
takes advantage of HW acceleration.
(I'm associating UP systems with graphics which isn't always true)
