Has anyone looked at the performance of a UP* system on RELENG_4 vs
RELENG_5 as an NFS and SAMBA server ? I need to deploy such a box and was
wondering if someone has run through this exercise recently** ?
I know quite often when the ugly asterisk laden word "benchmark" comes up
the rush of groans is deafening. But if you dont use benchmarking programs
as _part_ of the evaluation process, how do you determine what will perform
best for you ?

*Its not of interest to me if SMP makes a difference. The hardware is UP.
**I found some discussions from Oct / Nov of 2004, but that was related
more to a bug in the em driver affecting RELENG_5 network performance
