Kris, thanks for reply. I did not provide any special tests for performance, I catch it just working on my workstation - P-4, 3 GHz, 512 MB. Long time ago (several monthes) I've used Gentoo Linux, but siwtched to FreeBSD because of better performance especially when I work in X. About the port set: what do you mean under "> upgrading your ports properly"? I've downloaded the ports.tar.gz (about 30M) and untarred it to /usr/ports. what else?
