Agreed about the performance hit turning off SMP! Am hoping its a 
temporary thing, and if we can show it *is* SMP then maybe that will 
hepl with a fix, as there cant be that many places where SMP is handled 
differently to real cores I would think. If you could test then that 
would be great!

cheers,
