not in 2.4 -- but FreeBSD by default is set up with optimal values while
Linux needs to be tweaked via /proc/sys/vm/ to get FreeBSD-class
performance.

ext2 is the dinosaur. Haven't tried with ReiserFS. There's a whole class
of flame wars arguing that "softupdates are better than journaling." But
NONE of the enterprise UNIX'es use softupdates, they all use journaling.
Hmmmm...

Wouldn't know about that. On Linux a thread is a process, so on a
many-processor Linux box threads would perform better.

Says who? Linux is a KERNEL. Try Trustix. I have.

Granted Linux 2.4 is not that solid (particularly in VM) -- the solution
for now seems to be throw memory at it so it doesn't croak. But I like the
Linux style of development -- jkh and his pals are way too elitist.
Besides, give me the GPL over BSD license any day.. it enforces morally
correct behavior.
