As far as I understand the matter, this all have to be (and I guess actually is) provable. Now, you were saying that 5.* is even worse, I quote: > FreeBSD 5.x network performance is really poor, relative to 4.x; I do > not recommend using FreeBSD 5.x in a production environment. Then I wonder *what* were the reasons for not working on matters pointed out??? You were also saying in same post that: > The fixes are mostly > simple, but for whatever reason, they never make it into FreeBSD > proper (my theory is that the developement focus is heavily skewed > to general purpose processing, rather than network processing).
