[PD] SMP Questions

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

The DSP and the GUI run in separate processes, so there is some  
benefit.  But the DSP is all in one process, so that will always run  
on one CPU.  AFAIK, Gem processing will also be included in that one  
process, while PDP has the ability to split the processing out into a  
separate thread.
