As we approach the release of 5.2, we'd really like to show off the performance and stability of our new threading packages. So, I'm looking for people to volunteer to go out and put some of the thread-capable enterprise and desktop packages to the test. Packages that I would most like to see are: Apache 2 BIND 9 OpenOffice Mozilla KDE desktop + Konq Java 1.3/1.4 + Tomcat/etc MySQL Others? The questions that I would like to have answered are: Does it take advantage of pthreads Does it work with libkse and libthr Does it operate correctly Does it perform better/worse than with libc_r Does it perform better/worse than under FreeBSD 4.x Thanks! Scott
