Hmmm. Not really. The opinions expressed therein are hopelessly naive given that a very great deal of BSD's "critical path" code has been optimized far beyond simple linear searches, and code which retains simple search strategies *but is not traversed very often* is no more relevant to your overall performance than ambient temperature. I also don't know how you do your kernel debugging, but around here it's generally done in test environments that significantly *exceed* loads commonly found in nature. I dunno, the whole posting says essentially nothing, especially given that NT's development could be said to suffer from all the same potential "problems." -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
