Well, this might be kind of obvious, but "man tuning" Also, since freebsd-4 is still the official -stable release, you should definitely benchmark 4.8 or 4-stable (cvs tag RELENG_4). (see http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en/books/handbook/current-stable.html) Also, since -current is such a moving target (on all the bsd's), you should publish the exact date at which you cvsup'ed along with your results. Just saying 5-current isn't very descriptive, as major major changes can take place on that branch from one day to the next. -Jason -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freud himself was a bit of a cold fish, and one cannot avoid the suspicion that he was insufficiently fondled when he was an infant. -- Ashley Montagu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) Comment: See https://private.idealab.com/public/jason/jason.gpg iD8DBQE/m6yTswXMWWtptckRAqCkAKCIIFmKaA/WtKmLthIWcEhTGKnW5ACfT/d6 aV4ZKZDI7jzhWzFClizGEjY= =4Ogh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
