Are there any estimates of when freebsd will move to 6

Rumor has it that adding such support will be relatively easy once actual
hammer hardware appears. I believe that a few people had been working on
Is there anyone out there working on USB stuff?
I reported kern/37624 a while back, and have heard nothing on it.
It's an issue with the ICH3 USB (UHCI) driver.

what types of things can be done by people who are generally just

Hi all,
I'm sure the SMP features along with removal of the Big Giant Lock (TM)
are designed to sacrifice as little performance as possible across the
board. In practical terms, will a 5.0 kernel without SMP have any
performance loss at all on a single CPU machine compared with the 4.x
