Hello Mike,

I have this numbers spread over my e-mails. Just putting they together:


OS			q/s
---			---

FreeBSD 6.1 SMP		14953

FreeBSD 6.1 UP     	15516

FreeBSD 7.x SMP    	15323

FreeBSD 7.x UP     	16200


FreeBSD 4.11 SMP   	34977

FreeBSD 4.11 UP    	33926


I think is a general problem in 6.x and 7.x. UP kernel is always a
little bit better, but I can't see big changes tweaking from SMP to
UP.

On the other hand, with the same hardware, 4.11 is twice better in
performance.
