Hi

never been touted as the final thing for Windows, it's more a Linux build as
far as I know.

Right.

superserver.

No. Not AFAIK.
classic is *required* to use SMP systems.
Each client gets its own server process and those can be bound to one
processor.
However, more threads require more memory and so the client connection count
is much more limited than the connection count with superserver, which uses
one process only and at least one thread per client and therefor can share
memory...
