Ok, I just installed FreeBSD 2.1 and boy this is slow, Example:

bash$ ping localhost

PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.356 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.342 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.362 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.349 ms

--- localhost.arctic.net ping statistics ---
6 packets transmitted, 6 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0.342/0.349/0.362 ms

bash$ ifconfig -a

lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ep0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
        inet 19.51.13.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 19.51.13.255
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500


On my Linux box I get a ping response of:

PING localhost (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.1 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.9 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.9 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.0 ms

Big difference here. Please shed some light on this for me.

TIA
