Thank you for your sugestions. I know SMP is a risky business as for now. Anyway, I don't feel scared enough not to try it under heavier load. I'm running the SMP kernel now, and it behaves very good. It will probably take a few weeks before I have the hardware, but when I finally have it, I'm willing to do some tests. BUT: How to reliably test the performance of SMP FreeBSD vs. UP Sun Sparc, so that the results would be comparable? Dunno yet... :-( Sincerely yours, --- Andrzej Bialecki FreeBSD: Turning PCs Into Workstations http://www.freebsd.org Research and Academic Network in Poland
