What you have cited is recently reinvigorated trend that has taken on the air of the "BDS is dying" troll. What you have is a set of computer users with no understanding of kernel internals attempting to diagnose some sort of possibly legitimate problem by reaching conclusion via rumor and guesswork. These people can be taken about as seriously as those who insist the moon landing was fake and other bizarre ignorant pseudo-science. http://workstuff.tumblr.com/post/19036310553/two-things-that-really-helped-speed-up-my-mac-and http://dywypi.org/2012/02/back-on-linux.html When you have a test case illustrating your feared FreeBSD VM shortcomings, you may at that point begin to attract developer interest. -- Adam Vande More
