Subject: [ILUG-Cochin.org] DragonFlyBSD perfomance improvements and others
To: "This List discusses GNU/Linux & GNU, GPL Software" <
mailinglist at ilug-cochin.org>
o VM changes in DragonFly reduces Memory usage considerably

o More multi-core improvements
"Matthew Dillon wrote up an explanation of how performance on systems
with a lot of CPU cores has been significantly improved ? up to 300%!
(He says 200%, but I think he?s treating it as a percentage of a whole
rather than percent changed.) Apparently finally getting rid of lock
contention is the trick."

64-bit DragonFly system.
