:A couple of questions:
:
:I saw a note about possibly adding a 'last known somewhat stable' tag. Is
:this still in the works?
Yes. As soon as Jeff and I stabilize the networking code, including
a revamping of the messaging subsystem to support aborts, I am going
to create a tracking tag.
:For a UP workstation, where should I see performance improvements over
:FreeBSD?
We are mostly doing infrastructure work right now but I expect we
will begin to see performance improvements over FreeBSD-4 after the first
release when we start to unwind Giant (for SMP anyway), and DragonFly
is already performing better then FreeBSD-5 for the UP case (which isn't
too hard considering the huge overheads that exist in FreeBSD-5).
:Are things still on track for a June release?
:
:jm
Yes, we are still on track for a late June release.
