While the conclusion is subjective, fact is that at the particular mix of microbenchmarks shows NetBSD faster than FreeBSD. I am wondering if that is the price you pay on single-cpu boxes to gain speed at the SMP boxes. And if this is true the question becomes if fine-grained locking is worth the implementation time when most computers are still single-cpu (Yes, I know this can change rapidly with the newer CPU types). It will change. Both AMD and Intel will be releasing dual core CPUs this year. This seems to be the future for most CPUs.
