Yeah, Chuck Kennedy built one of those at BRL.
It was asymmetric; interrupts were all handled on the same
processor.
It's interesting that there was a time period during which
minicomputer speed was essentially topped out (around 1 MIPS),
so it made sense to work on speed-improvement hacks. But in
later years, processor speed increased while prices dropped
at such a rate that such hackery became uneconomic.
