It has been *really* slower to load many files (modules) since I switched to ZFS on root. I had to build a monolithic kernel to save 10-15s of loading time. Now I use trasz@'s (CC'ed) patch to speed up the loader, and it seems maybe as fast as with UFS. I don't know if the patch speeds up things with UFS, but with ZFS it made a big difference. -- Olivier Smedts _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) e-mail: oliv...@gid0.org - against HTML email & vCards X www: http://www.gid0.org - against proprietary attachments / \ "Il y a seulement 10 sortes de gens dans le monde : ceux qui comprennent le binaire, et ceux qui ne le comprennent pas." _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
