Disk performance seems to be up a bit - the dynamic buffer cache is
very noticeable for small files (under 8M) - at least this is what
I found with iozone.
The vfs__bio.c in FreeBSD 1.0 {greek letter,release} is still the same
one from 386BSD, and does *not* give memory back to the rest of the
system after it is allocated. The release announcement was seriously
incorrect. I suggest you read the code.
Now for some YP and shlibs ...... ;-)
NetBSD 0.9 has YP, and NetBSD-current has SunOS-like shared
libraries. Aren't you guys working on incorporating our code?
(sun-lamp has only been using shared libraries for ~a week, but in all
respects they seem quite reliable.)
