I saw under http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/todo.html that swap performance under 6.x is slower then 4.X, and this is listed as "not done". I noticed that 6.1 seemed to be a dog, but 6.0 I thought was better. As a test I installed 6.0 and 6.1 in parallel on my laptop with identical ports trees (and packages) and 6.0 does feel a lot more responisve to swapping; I would be eager to help track this down if someone could give me some pointers. If I have to _guess_ as to a problem it would seem like some of the scheduling priorities changed. (this is with GENERIC under 6.0 and 6.1, this is with 6.1-PRERELEASE from April 5; I can CVSUP to the latest if people think things have changed.) -- David E. Cross
