This is probably very very offtopic and also very stupid question. The problem is that google mail web interface do not see 2 messages which 1st is PR submission (i.e. to freebsd-ports@) and 2nd - reply to it as messages of one discussion thread. Anybody know how to get gmail to sort them into one discussion?

FreeBSD vs Arch(?)Linux. Me, that is, my FreeBSD installation managed to spam ~50000 packets per second towards the him, the Linux distro, with a packet loss ratio of ~0%. (If I remember correctly:) During sending, I used around 35% CPU (that's what top showed; note: I had HT enabled), while he had neligible (~3%) CPU usage. In the other ping direction, I was suffering from 20% CPU usage (most of which was in top's interrupt counter) while receiving unknown* amount of packets per second, and packet loss was >95% [I sysctl'd the icmp reply limit to 999999999], even though he was yet again using neligible CPU percentage. *First he just ran "ping -i0" (per-line printing enabled) which gave 3000 packets per second, maybe because of his slow X terminal. I replied to that well (~100%). Then he silenced the verbosity and set some buffering(?) for the packets. That was the actual test. So what does this mean? Does it mean that the FreeBSD kernel sucks at working on spam efficiently, or is it netcard specific and the card basically "steals" the CPU time? And is it possible that the Linux distro had "internal packet loss", so it wasn't FreeBSD who was sluggish? If so, I kindly ask for instruction on how to get the incoming&outgoing packet count or other net stats.

FreeBSD vs Arch(?)Linux. This depends a lot on the hardware, the network, and lots of other things. Also, I don't think the FreeBSD kernel is optimized for high ICMP throughput. There's no reason to do that, because it's not really a real-world benchmark. You should better make some more real-world benchmarks such as transferring files. And make sure that you use comparable hardware (including identical NICs, because these can make a _huge_ difference). Also make sure that you have a switched connection in full- duplex mode. Or even better, use a direct connection with a "crossed" cable. You might also want to play with polling or other tuning parameters; please have a look at the tuning(7) manual page and the Handbook. Also make sure that you don't have any packet filters installed (IPFW, IPF, PF). Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.

Thanks Julian, Let's talk about FreeBSD-jobs before moderation and after. 1) First since its a low traffic list, there was a lot more spam than content which discouraged people from signing up. Now there is no spam. 2) People, like you, would flame job posters in way over the top manners which drove companies away from both the list and FreeBSD professionals in general. 3) Recruiters would post inappropriate jobs or jobs with too little information (mostly lack of location), this would annoy people and waste people's time. So now instead of having multiple hot heads like yourself blasting them, one of us kindly bounces the email back to them with a cordial note explaining what they need to do to post, or if they just shouldn't be posting. If they continue "not to get it", we typically just ignore them instead of inflaming the situation. I recall how it would be comical if it wasn't so sad at how badly the reaction would be to a single post with the sin of ommitting location or ANYTHING that some person figured they REQUIRED of the posts on the lists. Sometimes huge flamewars would ensue just because someone _missed_ seeing the actual location. It was just sad. At the time, if I was a recruiter, or someone just browsing our lists, it would seriously discount the professionalism of ANY reply I received based on the other flamers on the list. The fact of the matter was that it really didn't matter how hard the recruiter tried, there would almost certainly be _something_ in the email that someone would latch onto as a reason to childishly flame the author. So basically this is all addressed now. We still get occasional flames, but we dev-null them. Although this is the first time we've had such an... enthusiastic... individual looking to make a spectacle of things by cross posting.
