[Sunhelp] multi-processing

[Magnus Abrante]

Halt, add the second CPU & boot :) Solaris will take advantage of it.

The solaris kernel uses a TS (timeshare) scheduling to figure out which 
process to be runned, based on a couple of things like priority etc. It will 
dispatch processes to other CPU's as well if there are anyone idle.

Solaris is multiprocessing (and multithreaded). Unless you are trying to do
some RT (Realtime) computing on a system with only 1 CPU ;).

Thats not 100% true, its very much simpified, but its about how it works ;)
