CPU benchmarks between ubuntu on the new hardware and freebsd on the old hardware, ubuntu is running about twice as fast. i'd hope to get freebsd/qemu running at least as fast as the old hardware. am i doing something wrong, or is this as good as it gets? -- ...atom ________________________ http://atom.smasher.org/ 762A 3B98 A3C3 96C9 C6B7 582A B88D 52E4 D9F5 7808 ------------------------------------------------- "There is growing evidence that smoking has pharmacological effects that are of real value to smokers." -- Joseph F.
