Running a couple of the tests again, I get numbers more in line with stable and release. In addition, I was probably not as careful with current as we will not be running it in production. I will see if I can find the time to run the numbers again and update the table. FYI, this first round of testing was to answer the question, does using threaded bind help performance on FreeBSD? In this minimal test case, it does. With the above info, I can now look into how a bind vs threaded bind performs in different test cases. This also gives me information on what I will gain/lose when deciding on various administration issues. > also - do you use the same config everywhere? -current GENERIC > doesnt have COMPAT_43 > for example which miht affect performance (additional locking) etc. I modified the kernel configuration files that where included with the distribution. For release, stable and current, I created four kernels; uni-processor, uni-processor with polling, multi-processor, multi- processor with polling. The OS was as default as possible. For this test, I didn't want to make many changes. -- Dave
