I don't know why people are so obsessed with performance.. after all, you can't really load stock Unix systems properly anyways (like, say, an IBM mainframe, which you can keep at 90+% loaded all the time), so it really doesn't matter, as long as the machine is "fast enough". What matters a _lot_ more, imho, is stability and robustness, and imho here the attention should lie at this early stage of the 5.x tree. 5.3 robustness is far from spectacular, there're too many ugly bugs still around to bother about peak performance improvements just yet. Make it reliable first, and only then fast. mkb.
