We're running on an old -current snapshot (strictly for SMP to appease the customer). My only problem is that it slows down quite often, and the system is mostly idle looking at vmstat, iostat, and friends. I don't know if this is a threads issue or not. And it's hard keeping up with the weekly releases...
