Well, the reason that I did was because I had this in my head: "What? This little snippet of code runs bloddy slower than in Linux? Boy... I use Perl happily in FreeBSD, and I can't lie to myself that in some situations, I felt like my FreeBSD perl scripts run slower than in Linux. Well... If I write to freebsd-current@freebsd.org, those genius developers might catch this and maybe discuss on how to overcome the problem. I don't know whether anything's useful, but at least if I post, more people will notice and PROBABLY can improve a thing or two. I hate to run my scripts under Linux and will do everything I can to make my scripts run in FreeBSD at least as fast as in Linux!" This is not just talking about benchmarks. This situation will probably make people conclude things that are not beneficial at all for FreeBSD. People in my definition are non-C-coders and those-who-just-like-to-generalize-things. Exclude me from that list, but there are many of others who fit to that group. I am not complaining and bugging FreeBSD developers to do anything at all. Well, I can't help myself, but at least I have done my part to post this. Thanks... /john "I go, I fight, and I win!"
