As to this other part of your message that I didn't answer with my last reply... I think the most important fix you need that isn't already in 8.3 is the change to avoid leaving the i-cache bit disabled on executable pages after loading a program or shared lib. I had posted a workaround patch for that on this list a few months ago, which was oriented towards being as small a change as possible to implement the workaround. Since then, my patch was reworked by kib@ into a much more complete and robust change, but that change hasn't found its way back to freebsd 8.x yet. The change that got committed to 9 and 10 doesn't apply cleanly to 8, but this is something we need at work, so I'll get it back-ported to 8 and post the patch Sometime Soon(tm). -- Ian
