It should be immediately obvious that ext2 is NOT the filesystem

as bad as UFS does. This is because ext2 is a UFS clone.
The proposed filesystem is most likely Reiserfs

This postmark test is useless self flagellation.
The benchmark tests what it was meant to test: performance
on huge directories.
The intent of the test is obviously intended to show
certain facts which we all know to be self-evident under
strange load conditions which are patently unreal.

Installing an operating system (be it FreeBSD, linux, Windows or what

Maybe he is a Solaris admin, but he honestly tries to tune

Here is a surprisingly unbiased article comparing OSes running
hard core network apps. The results are kind of disturbing,
with FreeBSD (4.2) coming in last against Linux (RH), Win2k,

If the programmers who wrote that software used poll() on FreeBSD 4.2,
then I'd say that they need to RTFM and learn about kernel queues and
accept filters.
You mean they should just optimize for FreeBSD, or should they also
use completion ports on Win2K, /dev/poll on

I'm using both of those (iwill kk266) with a thunderbird 850, and
haven't had problems in fbsd. Linux flakes out a bit when I tell
it I have a k7 processor, so I told it I have a k6 and it works fine.
