The one thing that I will observe is that as you develop suggestions that might be incorporated in this chapter (or similar documentation), it may be useful to discuss these suggestions with other people, in a public forum, before they are added. It might also be useful to provide URLs with details of testing and benchmarking, etc... to help create the rules-of-thumb that would actually be incorporated into the documentation, but where links to the raw benchmarking, etc... probably wouldn't. Overall, I'm not opposed to the creation of a freebsd-tuning mailing list, but only if the people who would be sponsoring this list would agree to periodically summarize the consensus of the list and submit the appropriate modifications to the permanent documentation. -- Brad Knowles, Do you hate Microsoft?
