Every time you open your mouth I learn something new. I glanced at the
base package lists and didn't see any obvious difference between the
two. On the not too big iron around here I hadn't noticed any problems
with using either flavor. How big does the big iron need to be before
the benefits of the largesmp support kicks in?
