I can see differences in the boot time stamps in the 10th ms range, not sure whether this is really due to the detection of the UP system or some side effects. I guess the change would be measurable with the right workload, for instance the memory policies are different for SMP system compared to UP systems. However, we use a custom configuration for the device, hence SMP is by default disabled anyway. But it would be nice to be able to use multi-platform kernels without having to worry about SMP detection... -- Stefan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
