Anyway, I like the idea of doing whatever it takes to make our performance increase... but not at the expense of having a stable OS. Just about everything in the "assinine statements" above would leave us with a very unstable OS. I couldn't care less (and a lot of people would surely agree) whether or not we have the "standard" or "traditional" implementation of anything as long as to the user things are basically the same, and things perform better. ================================================================= | Kenneth Culver | FreeBSD: The best NT upgrade | | Unix Systems Administrator | ICQ #: 24767726 | | and student at The | AIM: muythaibxr | | The University of Maryland, | Website: (Under Construction) | | College Park. | http://www.wam.umd.edu/~culverk/| ================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
