The "smp" kernel is installed on systems with multiple CPUs. Some recent
CPUs with hyperthreading are treated as multiple CPUs and will get the
smp kernel installed. Whether or not the smp kernel will result in
better performance for you probably depends on the types of applications
you are using your system for. Try out both kernels for a while and see
if you notice one being faster than the other.
