Hi, This is regarding that recent performance issue (Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, Solaris). I don't care what you (people who are so stuck up with stability) think, I use FreeBSD as a desktop and I need performance! I have "async" otpion turned on in my /etc/fstab, I'm glad the FreeBSD by default enables the write cache for my hard disks. Come on, wake up! FreeBSD is no longer for some dorky server administrator who does nothing but chewing on snickers bar sitting in corner of some room full of racks and HDD's. And, I bet most people use FreeBSD for desktop use, not as server use! I've shut down the computer by plugging the power plug out just because I was upset or not in the moeed and all it cost me was some extra time booting due to file system check. I've never had any of my files, emails or anything like that being lost due to cold shutting my computer. I'm sick of this server administrators always crying for stability. If FreeBSD won't take use of all the capabilities offered in todays hard drives, I won't be using it! I'll switch right over to Linux. Come on, desktop is the king and FreeBSD should focus itself evolving in desktop market. If you gonna whine about stability, go back to FreeBSD 2.x, 3.x. For me, FreeBSD 4.x, 5.x should be more desktop oriented, and desktops need performance!!!!! Sung N.
