Message-ID: <20000728124727.A58850@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I recently read than the linux 2.2 kernel pretty much evened the TCP/IP performance difference between Linux and BSD. Now i read somewhere that the 2.4 kernel is expected to match BSD pretty much across the board. Is there anywhere where BSD is still head and shoulders above in performance? Are there any projects in the works besides SMP that wmight give us a leg up again? jm -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org "The physicist's greatest tool is his wastebasket." - Albert Einstein --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
