I'd like to add that even with these removed, I was experiencing terrible performance in building ports, etc (anything involving heavy filesystem activity or memory usage). Setting up an /etc/malloc.conf fixed this (this is also briefly noted in UPDATING). Specifically I use (don't know whether it's optimal, but it works): # ls -l /etc/malloc.conf lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Jan 23 11:52 /etc/malloc.conf -> HR< I didn't need to do this in 4-STABLE, however. Given that this gives really vast performance improvement with 5-CURRENT (in my experience) should something like this be in -RELEASE too? - Rahul To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
