It seems most of the banter for the past few
months is userland related. What is the state of
the kernel in terms of DP/MP kernel performance?
Has any work been done or is DFLY still in the
cleaning up stages? I'm still desparately seeking
a good reason to move to Dual-core processors

Routing packets doesn't take much cpu unless you are running a gigabit
of actual bandwidth (or more). If you aren't doing anything else with

Routing packets doesn't
If we are talking about maxing out a machine in the packet routing
role, then there are two major issue sthat have to be considered:
* Bus bandwidth. e.g. PCI, PCIX, PCIE, etc etc etc. A standard PCI
bus is limited to ~120 MBytes/sec, not enough for even a single GiGE
