As always, you're seeing the lack of available committer time, not a real lack of interest. One way to accelerate the process might be for someone (not necessarily you, any reader of this mailing list could do it) to show that this change visibly benefits some easy to run benchmark. Some simple setup of apachebench vs thttpd (which uses sendfile, afaik) would be useful for this purpose.
I think he said in the mail that they are setting a record for SPEC Web benchmarking numbers. I think it is a very visible and referred to benchmark as far as web servers go, and it would be (800/600) as compared to the best linux webserver. I think it is proof enough.
Would be fun to have the best SPEC number from FreeBSD and a university and not Linux and some industrial giant :)
Thanks Aniruddha
