Maybe we need to admit to ourselves, that there are certain tasks we cannot complete in reliable manner as a non-profit organization, so loosely knit. I think that an optimally designed SMP may be one such task. This aside from the fact that 95% of all FreeBSD SMP will run on a dual processor, will run single threaded applications, and the great improvement will be from 1.8 utilization factor to 1.99 - A whopping 5.5% in days where MIPS are cheaper than white bread. > It's unfortunate that most of the rational discussion occurred in private > (or semi-private) email, where it was invisible to the place where the > issue was first raised. We all behave in private quite dirrefently than in public. Simon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
