For me it was worth the effort as 7.1 has the driver for the network
interface found on my motherboard (Atheros L1E) and has an updated est
(SpeedStep) driver that support my CPU (45nm Pentium Dual Core E5200).
The update using freebsd-update was quick and went smoothly. Also, the
new scheduler is now enabled but I can't tell yet if it performs
better on an SMP system.

Hello, I was wondering if it was worth the time or effort to update from
fbsd 7.0 to 7.1. From what I see, the only major change is the inclusion
of dtrace. I am leaning towards not switching, but it seems a lot of
people are.

It depends. This update was related to the flaw found in OpenSSL
recently. Since this update didn't touch the kernel, it's normal that
your're still on the 7.1-RELEASE kernel. The kernel version changes
only when an update touches it directly.

I've tried to install latest security patches with
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
# reboot
but after reboot
# uname -r tells me that I have
7.1-RELEASE
If I understand corectly from handbook, it should tells me -p1?
Is there somthing that I am missing?
... and sorry for my bad English :)
