If the claim is just 'different things work differently, so you should always check" then hey, fine. Do a benchmark if you feel like it. I once had a fun time comparing how fast Linux could pump data through a loopback TCP connection to how fast our $100,000+ SGI system could. Linux beat it by a factor of 10. Did it measure anything useful? No. Did it annoy the SGI people? Yes. :) DS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
