Bringing something into question without detail is useless. If I seriously questioned your sexual orientation, for example, you'd have every right to ask me just what the hell I was basing such a question on and why I was uncertain about it in the first place. Dennis has no less of an obligation to define his terms and not simply wave his hands. And besides, you need to read his message again - he DID make a claim about performance, he said it was slower than 2.2.x. That by itself, unfortunately, means precisely nothing. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
