Now... in case someone here is willing to help instead of talking, feel free to go to http://wiki.freebsd.org/BenchmarkAdvice and have a look what can be improved. The page is far from perfect and needs some additional people which are willing to improve it. > > > > > > This is only part of the problem. A tuning page in the wiki - which could be referenced from the benchmark page - would be great too. Any volunteers? A first step would be to take he tuning-man-page and wikify it.

Eh, normal make variables can go in src.conf as well. They do not have to be listed in bsd.own.mk. World builds include /etc/src.conf whereas every make invocation includes /etc/make.conf via sys.mk. The only reason to use /etc/src.conf is to have a place to put variables only affect make buildworld / buildkernel but do not affect other make invocations. Also, MALLOC_PRODUCTION is generally enabled in a stable branch as part of making the stable branch, there should be no need to set it manually in a stable branch. -- John Baldwin
