Could you tell us a bit more about what kind of performance difference
you're seeing?  Specifically, what sort of workload?  There are a lot of
changes between 4.x and 5.x -- SMP model changes, threading changes, file
system changes, device driver changes, etc.  Trying to figure out what's
going on will require narrowing down a bit what the variables are.

Thanks,
