When we were having issues with getting acceptable performance with Linux (no, I don't know which one), the Chelsio engineer suggested that we try FreeBSD-current to see if it might not do better. I must admit that I found this way cool and really appreciate all of the work you, Drew, Andre, jhb and others have done to make this happen. -- R.
