That was back in 4.3, I believe. I patched my 4.2-REL box with Matt's diffs from that thread, then backported it as far back as 4.1. That was the "FreeBSD performing worse than Linux?" thread, in November last. The 'tbench', DELACK, and newreno brouhaha. I think it was committed by 4.4-REL, but I know 4.5-REL has that code. > This was only 7 months ago, people! > > For those people who are unable to search list archives themselves, > because they don't know how to ask search engines questions, or > whatever, here is a reference to Dillon's patch: > > >http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=881527+0+archive/2001/freebsd-hackers/20011202.freebsd-hackers That was but a part of Matt's patches. There were a total of three from him about this, in rapid succession, I believe. > -- Terry I was right behind you in looking this stuff up. :-) Dave -- ______________________ ______________________ \__________________ \ D.
