Linux SMP is quite nicely done for CPU intensive tasks. I/O intensive SMP
is poor on the intel port (its quite passable on the sparc) We also have fully
working async I/O. If you look at clone() and learn to use it right. Note that
clone is so fast there isnt an overhead issue.

Its not my fault you don't look very hard.
