Hi Robert, the benchmark you cited is for uniprocessor systems only. It says nothing about multiprocessor performance, which is what FreeBSD is aiming for. It's comparing apples with oranges. Cheers, Gerald Robert Ryan wrote: Fellow FreeBSD developers, I hate to say I told you but it was

Hi Kamal, I don't know about any switches for ULE. My point is that it's not particularly meaningful to compare a system that's built for SMP to one that isn't. There have been a number of tests (sorry, don't have time to dig them all out) of systems with MP locks against systems without on a

Missing functionality in Blowfish for crypt(3)

I have separately posted this to freebsd-security as it seemed relevant to both lists. The blowfish crypt(3) mechanism supports the use of a cost value for password encryption. The cost value is encoded into the encrypted password that is stored in master.passwd. On OpenBSD, this cost value
