New Revision: 236560
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/236560

Log:
  Optimise kern_sendfile(): skip cycling through the entire mbuf chain in
  m_cat(), storing pointer to last mbuf in chain in local variable and
  attaching new mbuf to the end of chain.
  
  Submitter reports that CPU load dropped for > 10% on a web server
  serving large files with this optimisation.
