Correct. If we want performance, how about removing the difference between kernel and userland. Why have the overhead of the kernel vs. userland change, since it causes us to take a big performance hit. As long as we're at it, we may as well embed all of the video drivers in the kernel, like NT did. X should become an embedded part of the system, since that will also speed up performance again. There are *LOTS* of performance improvments that can be done. Since FreeBSD is used on the internet, let's embed telnet and ftp in the kernel as well. We could certainly blow away all benchmarks that people see. Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
