We could, but I'm not sure I should be concerned about the "scaling" of the various arrays in the kernel due to MAXCPU. This with an eye on small embedded devices that do 2-way SMP. I've never liked this constant anyway to be honest. It's either too big or too small. I don't think it'll ever be right :-) -- Marcel Moolenaar mar...@xcllnt.net _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
