Stability of RELENG_5_4 with dual Xeon

[Andrew McNaughton]

I'd be interested to hear people's recent experiences with Dual Xeons 
under load with SMP on and HTT off.

A while back there were stability problems with Dual Xeon machines.  I've 
got one of these in production with SMP turned off for the time being.  I 
figure at some point things are stable enough to enable the extra 
processor safely, but I don't have a spare machine for testing safely.

I gather there are still problems with Dual Xeon with both SMP and HTT 
turned on, but that turning HTT off helps.  So the question is how stable 
is that configuration?
