I guess that there are still some interrupt latency problems for SIO, but YMMV. All in all, the system is much more responsive, and this code should fix a myriad of bugs. Cleaned up versions of these changes will be committed next weekend. Included in these changes are LL support of per-CPU kernel stacks for threaded processes (higher level kernel support isn't there yet), a little support for CPU affinity, and much more intelligent usage of TLB IPI's. The number of bugs fixed is overwhelming. John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
