Has anyone done any work on this for FreeBSD? I know that some work was done on superpages for the Alpha and AMD64. =20 If there's no prior work on this, I'll be writing it myself. Does anybody know if the superpages work would contain anything useful for a x86 port? =20 Any hints or guidance would be quite welcome. =20 Ryan Stone Engineering Co-op Direct: 519-880-2400 ext 2759 www.sandvine.com =20
