Performance in SMP environment
I am currently testing it (my site isn't live yet) with a dual P233 w/ 128MB ram. There's really no difference installing it on an SMP machine than a uni-processor machine. Just be sure your kernel is compiled for SMP, and has support for the real-time clock.
One thing I do notice though, is when I run a benchmark program against my webserver calling http://www.host.com/cgi-bin/store, it loads the server down WAY more than calling http://www.host.com/cgi-bin/store/noframes. Both of these URL's return the same page too. At 30 concurrent requests, it takes an average of 31 seconds to return each page at a load average of around 10.7 for the first URL. This seems very high, and it's mostly perl taking up all the CPU. However, with the second URL, The load average doesn't get higher than 2, and it takes an average of 8 seconds to return each page. Very odd, considering it's returning the same page each time.
You machine will definitely be faster though, I only have regular pentiums in. PII's will make a ton of difference.
