There seem to be several "doubters" in the list, so I'm sure they'll come up with several different ways to benchmark the results. Always good to have a little competition in the world of ideas... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
