make kernel on UP seems to be within 1% of 4BSD now. I actually had some runs which showed lower system time. I think I can still improve the situation some. Anyway, I found some bugs relating to idle prio tasks, and also ULE had been doing almost twice as many context switches as 4BSD. Now it's doing about 8% more. I'm still tracking this down. Anyhow, it should be much closer now. I still have some plans for SMP that should improve things quite a bit there but UP is looking good.
