While the thread has diverged from it's original intent, there is
something related I consider to be a more interesting topic. If it's
still not appropriate for hackers, please let me know.
When people are doing benchmarks, I noted that there are -lots- of
little sysctl tweaks or kernel tweaks that tend to make a big
difference in the results.
I know it is possible to define some sort of abstraction that uniquely
specifies a complete (and/or relevant) set of these tweaks when
comparing benchmarks. Does this already exist, and if not, how hard
would it be to catalog every single relavent tunable parameter in a
FreeBSD system?
