Previously I was seeing a download rate of around 13 KB/s, while now I'm seeing around 28 KB/s (while these rates may sound horrrendous, it's typical of what we get when installing ports - other distributions generally hit upwards of about 800 KB/s). I was wondering what to attribute this better performance to. Could this be due to the new network driver / newbus integration? Just curious (and pleased). Thanks, -Brian P.S. - we track current and build our own SNAPs locally on a daily basis for testing -- Brian Dean SAS Institute Inc brdean@unx.sas.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
