I don't think kstat does the same as sysctl, at least for one thing: it provides for a way to dynamically add counters, if there is a way to enumerate them and userland proceses can add their own, it will make a good performance tool. May be I won't have kstat in all my kernels, but it would b

FWIW -- I think a reasonable goal of "getting stats out of the kernel" is that pulling data out ought to run as fast as bcopy, and it would be nice if you didn't have to drop into a syscall. Kind of an extreme position, I guess, but if you have ever seen the rstatd on linux eat 12% of cpu to retu
