While a scalable SMP implementation is a goal of DragonFly, so is many other
things. There isn't very many people around besides Matt that have the time
and the skill to help pushing the big giant lock out. it simple as that. Im
sure more developers would be welcome. But if evrything goes as planned with
HAMMER, i think you'll be seeing more interest in DragonFly quite soon and
probably much higher SMP performance by the end of the year.
