Some people have suggested to me that adding threads to the system would harm performance on our normal applications.. Here are times for 6 buildworlds. First 3 buildworlds on a NON KSE kernel: ----------------------------------------------------------- 3394.762u 1465.676s 1:27:45.19 92.3% 2733+2188k 36879+7292io 10981pf+0w 3397.863u 1481.278s 1:27:34.20 92.8% 2730+2183k 34221+7410io 11490pf+0w 3396.832u 1469.611s 1:27:16.35 92.9% 2732+2187k 34291+7378io 11069pf+0w ref4# uname -a FreeBSD ref4.dev.vicor-nb.com 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #1: Fri Jun 28 06:59:27 GMT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/REF3 i386 ----------------------------------------------------------- Here are the times for 3 buildworlds on a matching (same sources but patched) KSE kernel.

I've tried to keep out of the code path for non threaded processes as much as possible. It appears that I've been successful.
