H. I don't yet know enough about kernel architecture to know
in advance how I'd fare trying to patch that into 4.x (I expect
the line number to be off, obviously), but
It is definitely the powersaving/pci clkrun problem... as that is the only
power change I made ;)

I think the crux of situation here is that the correct solution is
to introduce more dynamicy in the way the kernel handles buffer space
for tcp connections.
For example, we want to be able to sysctl net.inet.tcp.sendspace and
recvspace to high values (e.g. 65535, 100) w

I though in the past when you installed a new kernel that the
sysctl kern.bootfile was changed to be /kernel.old (this is
under FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE), but looking at the makefile, this
is no longer the case. Was this done for a reason?

Can someone comment on when the major changes in the
FreeBSD VM system took place? Was it in 2.x? Has
much of the basic design changed since?
Would I be correct in saying that most of the work
was done by John Dyson and David Greenman with Matt
Dillon getting heavily involved in the 3.x era?
