IPFW in CURRENT: SMP-friendly?

There is work going on to move the OpenBSD pf(1) towards a more SMP
friendly entity - this reduces CPU load and should raise throughput.

Are there any plans for FreeBSD "native" packet filter IPFW2 to gain the
same? Or, to ask it differently, IS ipfw(1), the freeBSD native
packetfilter, already SMP friendly and so better suited for multicore
architectures?

I'm just cyrious.

regards,

Oliver
