We also run a UP box with a single AMD TBird at 850 MHz. This server
is still and also under heavy load as the other SMP machines and
it has a very similar configuration - and, especially, it is always
on the same software level as the SMP machines. But this machine never
have had any problems with ssh! Only our other both SMP machines suffer
from this problem!
