Hello,

a recent article 
(http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-scalability/?ca=dgr-lnxw02FasterLinuxNet) 
gives some measurements on various tweakings of an SMP machine with 4 Xeon 
processors (it *shows* a nice improvement when using more CPUs and more 
bonded Ethernet interfaces).

Has some the machine (and the time, obviously) to make some of the same 
measurements with the latest FreeBSD versions ?
