Not to mention, FreeBSD5 has yet to be micro-optimized. How about some scalability benchmarks on multi-CPU machines? The original post (particular since it was sent to -advocacy) is FUD. -Bosko On Thu, Jan 06, 2005 at 05:52:24AM +0300, Igor Shmukler wrote: > Hubert, The benchmark suite in question is not bad, but it's a microb= enchmark suite.
