Or that horribily impracticle wake-one semantics implemented under
SMP for the accept() function with recent Linux kernels to prevent
overscheduling.

Or another really useless thing like releasing a MP lock in the TCP/IP
stack the increases user space copies by a factor of 4 times in the
Linux kernel.

FreeBSD still using a single big kernel lock which slows down certain
unimportant things like getting every so slow course grained kernel lock ?

Are things breaking with all the new changes in the FreeBSD kernel ?

Uh, "yes" to the two above questions  ?
