I love BSD but for performance reasons linux may be my choice. Any performance tips would be helpful... My linux machine puts out about 700 (locally)emails a minute while BSD only puts out about 200... my limits appear to configured properly. My kernel options have been set.. Is there anything that I'm missing to get this machine to work??? The only difference between the two is that the Linux Box is working like a dog while the BSD box doesn't go above .05 load and stays around 90 idle What are the differences in memory managers between the two?? I've got a consultant here trying to get linux to do everything but with the numbers I'm seeing it's hard to stay loyal..
