I'm very involved - as far as installed base goes.  I run it on a sparc,
my Octane (note to self, download update), and a few Linux boxen.

The 'cleanest' way I've found of doing multiple CPUs is to create a set
of subdirs for each CPU.  Unfortunately, that's it.  There's no other
way, that they mention or that I have found, to get the client to do
SMP.
