I've not tried Rijndael code yet, do you think that it could make a noticeable difference? As for kern.random.sys.burst=$SMALLNUMBER I think that it is your task to tune defaults in such a way that it would not disturb even low-profile users (i.e. would not cause any measureable performance degradation). Tuning defaults with power users in mind is extremly bad idea - we are not an OS with mininal configuration PIII-500/128MB. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
