In opposite to Oracle and other big commercial databases PostgreSQL will
not utilize multiple CPU to process an single SQL-statement faster.
Since for each Client-Connection an separate process on the server is created,
PostgreSQL will utilize mutliple CPU to raise overall throughput in an multi-user
environment.
If you have an single client requesting much work, an additional CPU would be
waste. If you have mutliple clients, SMP sould speedup processing.
