I think the performance it really affects is that of the programmers. I've wondered in the past why NetBSD and GNU/Linux seem to progress at the same rate, despite GNU/Linux seeming to have many more developers. I suspect it's because the code for NetBSD is much better written, thereby reducing code duplication and providing a better base for future development. cjs -- Curt Sampson cjs@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
