Is there further information on this?  I'm running NT4 TSE Servers on ESX as
uniprocessor (no NT4 support for SMP in VMWare) and as I migrate to 2003
Server I was going to explore the possibility of SMP.

Seems to me VMWare really starts to dog when proc queue length (measured
inside the VM) starts to climb, which SMP _should_ help with.  But I may be
seeing a symptom and not the cause.

Tim makes good point when he points out uni-processor. the SMP module
places another large overhead into the environment. if you were to
virtualise Citrix boxes I would recommend 2 uni-processor VM's rather
than 1 dual processor VM.  however that said if you can go base tin on
the citrix boxed do so.
