I don't think the problem is lack of hardware.  I personally have 2-3 SMP 
machines, and would be willing to donate 1-2 of them if something was going 
to happen.

However, i have heard many times before, that SMP is not a priority with the 
project, and that its not likely to be completed anytime soon.  It would be 
lovely to change that though...there is a partial SMP src tree already 
available....it just doesn't work...NetBSD and FreeBSD both have complete SMP 
support, and I have always wondered why noone checks out they have done, and 
merge something together for obsd.

I am going to put together a decent machine this evening and play around a bit 
with the smp branch, its been about 6-8 months since i last even looked at 
it.
