SMP Results

The theory looks like it was correct...I dropped a VM from 2 CPUs to 1 CPU and saw a 10x reduction in CPU Ready times.  The server went from 2500 ms wait times to 250 ms almost instantaneously.
I'm still waiting to hear from my client to make sure that this is translating into better performance, as he perceives it, but this is definitely a step in the right direction as far as helping our client use their existing resources more efficiently.

Update from client: "The overall performance is much better thank you. I  do still think that there is some room for improvement, but I’m no longer swearing at the machine which is a great thing."
