Hello, Brent.

Yes, I would say you want this setting to be at least "auto" on just about any modern hardware. I am not sure exactly how effective it is with VMs or whether that makes any difference and we don't have any performance benchmarks.

Thomas Berezansky blogged about this a while back: http://blog.mvlcstaff.org/2012/05/smp-what-is-it-and-why-do-you-care.html.
