Just remember, when yous all started, the smp was a dinasor, so it had ALOT of back logged work. New cpus can do multiple smps in a day, where it use to be days... even my e2180 takes 2 days.
The new smp, aka a3 core, is just a baby, so it has no back log of work as theses super cpus are just chewing them up.
saddly, get use to the occasional work stoppage...
