I can't speak to specifics, but I do know that upstream put a lot of effort into parring down what is in EL6. Their goal was to simplify and streamline support, and to allow them to focus on a smaller subset of tools to improve the support on those components still in the new release. If I were to guess, I would say that this clean-up and slim down did a lot to improve the performance, as well as reduce the supported code base to such a degree that they could more effectively improve quality and performance. My $0.02 guess. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
