(Please don't spam this many lists with such a large message.) The test is pretty questionable. FreeBSD 3.3 is over a year old, and I would suspect that the one actual outstanding criticism here (filesystem latency) is probably due to the default synchronous-mode filesystem. A more valid test would use one of the 4.x family FreeBSD releases and soft updates. There are still plenty of things that could be done to further accelerate the system, but that's the one clear item here. > (Hurm.... Wintendo outperforming unix???!??

But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
