:FYI, the performance difference caused by this commit is very impressive on

:While porting this back to -STABLE and DragonFly is not trivial (many 5-ish
:calls :( ), but I think it is worthy to have a look on it :)
I looked at it... I think it's interesting but it isn't critical right
now. It looks like it would be as much work to adapt subr_blist.c
as it would just to bring in DES's stuff.
If you would like to have a go at putting together a patch set I would
be happy to review it. It doesn't look like there are that many
FreeBSD-5isms. You won't be able to just patch it in from the
FreeBSD-5 diffs but doing it manually does not look too difficult.
