Hello, Please clarify your post. You make many claims without any offering any examples. You claim, "FreeBSD has a processor affinity design issue". What exactly is the issue? Give an example, please. You claim, "There is so much crap in FreeBSD kernel. The multithreading issue in freebsd has been delayed for nearly 6 years. They have just made work arounds, not fixing the actual problem." To what "crap in the FreeBSD kernel" are you referring? Please post an example of the "horrible threading support" and how it should be done. How did you arrive at the time span of "6 years"? Who is this "They" that has "just made 'work-arounds' not real fixing?" Who are these "many freebsd developers" to whom you refer? Finally, you claim, "The only thing holding FreeBSD back is the Multithreading issue." Holding it back from what? Please explain the basis for your assertions so that the community may better answer them. Regards, Stheg BTW: Considering you're running a Windows-based OS, not a BSD-based one, why do you even care? _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
