It's not performance. When UML supports SMP again, it will have multiple (one per virtual CPU) threads runnable on the host at any given time. This will allow people to do SMP debugging under UML. It will also allow hosting outfits to offer varying levels of CPU usage to their customers. Low-end customers will get a UP virtual machine which can only have one active process on the host. People who pay more can get virtual SMP boxes which can have more processes active on the host. Jeff |
