>Considering that its been well documented and admitted that 5.x is 1/3 the speed of 4.x at this point, do you really think they've migrated production boxes?
Most likely this is in reference to a few lines in /usr/src/UPDATING, stating that all of the debug features are turned on by default in 5.x < 5.3, making it much slower. This is less than true if those options are turned off.
What are those options and how do you turn them on/off?
Some of these options are :
makeoptions DEBUG=-g options WITNESS options KDB options DDB options GDB options INVARIANTS options INVARIANT_SUPPORT
They can be turned off by commenting them or removing them from a custom kernel config, rebuilding and installing that kernel. Details on how to do this are in the handbook. Note that as of 5.3, these have been turned off by default.
