As an aside I received this by personal email """Just FYI, 5.3 is not an "upgrade" from 4.9. Its about 25% slower. Do a google groups search with "mailing.freebsd.questions 5.3 performance tests". Robert Watson gives a pretty good explanation about the work that needs to be done to get 5.3 up to production standards.""" I 'upgraded' to 5.3 because I see now that 4.x is regarded as a legacy OS so decided to try it out. Can other more experienced people comment on the above? Should I revert to 4.11 when it appears? -- Robin Becker
