Thanks for all your suggestions. I went through the CVS commits, there are some additional sparc64 patches that look like they will speed up things a lot, as well as my NE card fix so I think I will just do the full upgrade to 4.9-current rather than piecemeal patch based on these recommendations Kind regards -JoelW
