I've got a few days to experiment with an 8 core box, and someone pointed this 
page out to me http://people.freebsd.org/~kris/scaling/mysql.html before I 
purchased the box.

Looking at the patch http://people.freebsd.org/~jeff/tophalf.diff it doesn't 
appear to be patchable with 7-CURRENT.

What I am interested in is Hi-speed Java (really wanted to work with Java6) and 
Postgresql-8.2.

Does anyone have any pointers for optimizing Posgresql & Java on AMD-64 with 8 
cores?
