Colin, I am only slowly realising the impact of the points you have =

I have noticed a bunch of artefacts left over from unclean shutdowns, =
which I assume are caused by the above not calling the shutdown rc.d =
scripts. Do you know if this is likely to get implemented any time soon, =
or are you aware of a simple workaround?

I have to say that in general I am finding FreeBSD 12.2 on t4g pretty =
good and surprisingly stable. The CPU utilisation is different in terms =
of metrics, and I cannot quite put my finger on it, but the web apps =
seem to run faster. Of course, it is nice that it is also cheaper.

Thanks,
Rafal
