So, why then? I know they are better. And so you do. But neither
benchmarks nor good explanations can be found on the Web. We have
well known facts only about wcarchive, yahoo, etc., which runs
FreeBSD as their main OS.
The most impressive info on this topic is an article in the Science
Daily online magazine where they talk about exceeding 1 Gbit
threshold on a real task using FreeBSD TCP/IP stack without need to
modify it.

At the moment I'm mostly focusing on userland, developing model,
administrative issues and stuff like this.
