I am running both (on at a time of course :) ), now for six month or so,
ULE is giving me better overall performance, either with or w/o polling. I
mean network performance. I have net.isr.enable=1 and
net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1,
this way I do get the same network performance I had on the 4.11. I mean I
have no problem here.

But also I checked the ULE/BSD against my particular problem and there is
no difference at all. I get no acceptable disk read performance when
comparing what I had with 4.11, wether with ULE or with 4BSD
