  If you want to paint a wall, you'll finish sooner if someone else helps you
(other processors). If you only have 1 brush (no SMP programs) you won't notice
any difference. If you have n brushes (SMP program) and 1 person helps you (2
processor machine) and the other person is attending the telephone (1 processor
doing other tasks) you'll still be faster than if you're alone, but not much
faster :)
  Hope this clarifies.
