I thought that this was solved with the 2.4 kernel, because it was meant to
be multithreaded. I'm running 2.4.20 with the newest LVS. Maybe I need to
run 2.5 but this is a production machine. Has anyone tried LVS on 2.5?
I have tried the irqbalance and that doesn't seam to be helping any, Oh and
does anyone know of a web page for that patch. I guess I just might get a
3GHz box and forget the hole smp thing. Here's a sample of what mpstat has
to say about the hole thing.

Uhm... what version of LVS are you using?
I remember quite a few discussions indicating SMP was not `efficient` with
LVS due to spinlocks & such. The end result was that it was better to
compile without SMP. I'm not sure why you aren't seeing utilization on both
CPUs.
