It is only an after-thought that I check out UP systems. If there is anything that you can point to where performance has decreased, let me know. The system should be faster at paging and other kinds of things like program startup. As of about 1mo ago, the pageout daemon was much to active, and now it seems to be just right for me on 16MB, 32MB and 200+MB systems. It probably could stand some tuning on small systems and very very large systems. John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
