Well, it's technically not mine, but yeah, it is kinda fun.

I was not seeing anything different with top that tells anything about multiple CPU's.  Supposedly top -C is an SMP option, but that also doesn't show anything interesting.  I finally found the "LC" field, that shows "Last used CPU", this shows the processes nicely divided up between processor 0 and processor 1.  /proc/cpuinfo also shows both CPUs, so I think I can rest easier.

It's wierd having to tee ./configure output into a log file now because the messages scroll by too fast to even read!

Now I have to fix a broken perl installation.  sigh...
