If you are going to put anything in production, use a _very_ recent -CURRENT. Even then, 5.0 isn't as fast as the -STABLE series at the moment because it's still in an awkward transition between locking via giant and fine grain locking. If you'd like to help figure out performance problems for -CURRENT however, have you tried running any kernel profiling to see where the kernel is spending it's cycles? -sc -- Sean Chittenden
