My kernel How are you testing this and what is generating these emails for the purposes of the test? What versions of FreeBSD and Linux? Same sendmail configuration on each? To answer this question intelligently would take a lot more data than you've given here, I'm afraid. > What are the differences in memory managers between the two?? Let's just say that they're different enough that drawing comparisons between them is probably not a meaningful exercise, nor would you guys be likely to understand the results of such a comparison anyway. > I've got a consultant here trying to get linux to do everything but with > the numbers I'm seeing it's hard to stay loyal.. Please help!! It's hard to help with so little information to go on. It's also hard to understand why you have someone working specifically on optimizing the Linux box but have no one to help you configure the FreeBSD machine with similar care.
