namecache status, slab allocator status

[Robert Clark]

Thanks for the pointers to the papers. I had fun reading them, and 
passed copies to a few friends at work.

Its nice to know that the slab allocator got some use in Solaris 8. Its 
nice to be able to learn about a key piece of technology and have it 
used in a widely applicable platform. Having performance and tuning 
books make reference is nice as well.

Thanks, [RC]

Matt or others,
regarding below.  Do you or anyone else know where I can find
documentation on what makes a slab allocator different from others?
I don't want to bother you with questions about it as I know you are
fully capable of giving very nice, detailed answers complete with
ASCII diagrams :).


    Sure, read Bonwick's papers, here are some links:
