Whats interesting about this is that it DOES in some
ways relate to both FreeBSD and Dragonfly. Both are
sacrificing what may seem to be best for the current
world, in an effort to be better in the future world
of dual-core and MP domination. 
At present Linux is better than any BSD variant on multiprocs
and even more on multiprocs with large number of processors. It is
perhaps even better than Solaris. This is the unfortunate reality.
Let us hope that both FreeBSD and Dragonflybsd will succeed
in bridging the gap.

It is a good laugh to hear about foresight for the subject you
are alluding to, when it was hardly possible to do worse.
