This leads me to wonder though, are we ever going to unify mb alloc and uma? It seems that it would make sense to do so. If the performance is not as good with UMA then it may make sense to keep mb_alloc. Especially now that it can reclaim memory. Have you looked at catching the low memory callback to drain your caches? Cheers, Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
