IIRC some folks reported performance degradation using SCHED_4BSD in the past after the SMP fixes, so this isn't a new news story. SCHED_ULE isn't going to be default until 7.1-RELEASE I believe because they might be fanning out a few bugs in -CURRENT (the number of bugs are small from what I've seen) and MFC'ing them to 7-RELEASE. -Garrett _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
