Hello. I am trying to benchmark 5.4 performance for a company project.
I've got:
 
FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Fri May 27 20:52:58 PDT 2005
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP
Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz (2395.92-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0xf27  Stepping = 7

em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection, Version - 1.7.35> port
0xc800-0xc83f mem 0xfe8c0000-0xfe8dffff irq 18 at device 2.0 on pci1
em1: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection, Version - 1.7.35> port
0xd000-0xd03f mem 0xfe8e0000-0xfe8fffff irq 19 at device 2.1 on pci1

The UP version of the builds is able to deliver close to line rate on
these 2 interfaces. However the SMP build (with WITNESS and INVARIANTS
disabled) gives me half the line rate on them. I am using netperf.
 
/opt/netperf/netperf -H x.x.x.x -f m -l 120

Is there something I can do to make the system scale? I cannot move to
-CURRENT, but I can try pulling patches.
