Synopsis: Maybe the 6.0 Release is not much more than the 5.3 Release on file system.

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: linimon
State-Changed-When: Sat Jul 29 07:44:32 UTC 2006
State-Changed-Why: 
The 5.3 release does not have some of the improvements that were later
made to 5.4 and 5.5.  The 6.0 release is missing some improvements made
in the 6.1 release.

Kris Kenneway's tests, as presented at BSDCan, tended to indicate that the
latest codebase in 6-STABLE was outperforming not only 5-STABLE but also
4-STABLE.  Again, that was with the latest code as available at the time.

In general issues like this should be discussed on freebsd-questions or
freebsd-hackers.  The PR database is best used to flag very specific bugs
in very specific code.  The PRs that are submitted with performance problems
generally tend to get lost in the large quantity of the former.
