The paper (for better or for worse) is a rehash of a 2001 paper, and
doesn't take a lot of the more recent work into account -- for example,
the substantial performance improvements since that time realized through
use of UMA, VM system lockdown, migration to a Giant-free storage
subsystem, network stack locking, etc. It also omits ongoing research
into SMP-optimized scheduling, hyperthreading, et al. So it's a good
historical reference to early parts of the SMPng work, but doesn't take
into account a lot of the work since that time. We should be careful,
when linking to and publicizing this paper, to make sure this is clearly
pointed out.
