I'd like to see this for myself. There is none, because Mr./Ms. TM4525 is making up his/her "facts" to suit their assertion. The last time this claim was made it was refuted and TM4525 promised to go away and check 5.3 performance. Kris ---------------------------------- Actually, Kris, it wasn't "refuted", you said that the exceptionally poor performance was "expected" until 5.3 was released, and implied that anyone who expected good performance was making a fool of themselves. Search google groups for "freebsd 5.2 performance woes" and sort by date to see my test details and subsequent comments by Kris and the other FreeBSD Spin Doctors. My tests are very controlled, and my "assertion" is a result of exceptionally poor performance in the test. And no-one "refuted" my results. More like jockeying to save face. Nor did I "promise to go away". I promised to test 5.3 and post the results. TM
