Is the patch that Dave applied to 4.2 applicable to :4.4-RELEASE? It sounded like not. I applied the tcp_output.c and :uipc_socket.c patch to my 4.4-RELEASE servers and it made a whole lot of :difference, like 500KB/sto 954KB/s from my old P200 server to my laptop. : :Thanks. :-- :Jim Durham Well, the patch is certainly relevant to 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4. Portions of it are relevant to 4.1 and earlier. We've fixed it in -stable (i.e. post 4.4) so if you are tracking -stable you already have it. However, if you are running 4.4-RELEASE and haven't updated then you don't have the patch and it is relevant. While it is a significant fix, it is just one out of a number of fixes made since 4.4-RELEASE. The easiest solution is typically to ugprade your machine to the latest -stable. Unfortunately, upgrading at this exact moment could be problematic as apparently a number of people are having problems with recent IDE changes, at least judging by recent list postings. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
