(2.1.0 is much better than 2.0.5) Content-Type: text Content-Length: 629 Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Well, I thought someone would be interested in hearing my opinion of 2.1. As soon as I overlaid a 2.0.5 machine, (the overlay process was fantastic, by the way) I was totally impressed. I'd say, subjectively, my machine has sped up at least 25%! I notice a large decrease in disk activity, which I presume to be better swap behavior. Things come up much faster (as is evidenced by my login, where a lot of X11 thingies get cranked up.) I don't know if it's the kernel, or the perhaps the new version of X11 is linked with a different malloc() - but things are much improved over 2.0.5. Great work! - Dave Rivers -
