Even with a GENERIC kernel you're going to be disk-bound, unless you have them in RAID 0, in which case you'll be network bound. If you are running i386 you can take out 486 and 586 support, that's probably the biggest single improvement you can make, and it's incremental at best. --- Thanks, Josh Paetzel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
