 Well, there's smp support, and then there's smp support.
 You can leave out the detection and stuff of multiple cpu's, but there is
 a lot of stuff added to deal with smp (larger process structure, dealing
 with signals on multiple processors, and lots of other things) and you
 can't leave that stuff out.  2.0 on a single processor is my preference
 unless there are things you absolutly need to have things in 2.2.
 I've been slowly moving things back from 2.2 to 2.0.  =)
