It always depends on what hardware you are using, whether RELENG_4 or
RELENG_5.

RELENG_5 for sure. We have a number of CPU intensive boxes (20+) handling
mail / virus scanning and IPSEC terminations. They are the way go to. Our
mail routers can get blasted with a good 1000+ processes at times.. Again,
no issues.
IPSEC is a good example where you have a more stable box in RELENG_5 then
RELENG_4. There are a number of bugs and issues in RELENG_4 that are gone
in RELENG_5
