	Well... the *largest* speed-up that Bugzilla could possibly experience,
at the moment, would actually be in code changes. :-) That is, if we get
mod_perl working, Bugzilla will become quite speedy.

	So, if you're talking about a real speed-up, some of the best
investments in that area would be assigning a bit of development time to
help us with our mod_perl efforts. They're actually not very complicated
efforts, they just require a lot of programmer hours. :-)

	But other than that, yes, I think a dual-processor machine would be
more useful for Bugzilla than a faster single-processor machine. If you
have even two or three people access Bugzilla simultaneously, you'll see
the advantage of MySQL and Apache being on different processors.
