Hi,

I am not a -current but SNAP CD user.  I noticed something interesting,
that 19971006-SNAP disk performance is much greater than 19980222-SNAP
specially on my SCSI disk according to what Bonnie's says.  In fact,
SCSI disk performance is very poor...

However, if I compare 'make buildworld' of 19980222-SNAP source
using two different kernels(the same everything but kernel), I get:

19980222-SNAP:     3315.51 real      2313.34 user       599.32 sys
19971006-SNAP:     3370.48 real      2328.91 user       633.53 sys

The 'make buildworld' is done under following conditions:
    /usr/src on wd0
    /usr/obj on ccd0 (/dev/sd0c /dev/sd1c)
    NOPROFILE, NOCLEAN, NOTCL, -pipe, async,noatime

I don't see much difference (actually faster on newer SNAP, which is
good:) between two SNAPs when I do make buildworld.

Can anybody elaborate why? 

Here is Bonnie's result on my system:
