I did not want to spend a whole day installing hydra instead of smpd if it would not work.
It took me 41 seconds to install Hydra ex nihilo and I didn't even use "make -j". The argument that installation time is a bottleneck is invalid. smpd is not supported and you shouldn't use it. End of discussion.
