doesn't end up with similarly complex SMP, because that could really
kill it, with a minor fraction of FreeBSD's developer resources and an
onus to continue supporting many architectures.
Well, it appears that at least for userland they're movin

I disagree with you about FreeBSD's SMP architecture being difficult
to develop and optimize (there are several really good tools for that,
like witness, lock profiling, pmc, and dtrace, etc), but at least
there are half a dozen or more people

Even more interesting would be a guess of how good it might scale when
you finally get rid of BGL.
To memory-quote Matt, it should scale really well in theory, because
most things are naturally lockless

Could you take a guess (just for being informed) how much of the system
is under the BGL and how much is MPSAFE?
