- milcron 10y agoWhat are some of FreeBSD's improvements, apart from multithreading?
- allanjude 10y agoVIMAGE / VNET, which allow you to have an instance of pf for each jail. Very useful
- gonzo 10y agoThe MT work is important, don't be so ready to dismiss it. There has also been work on speeding up pf outside of the MT work.
- milcron 10y agoI'm just not sure how significant the MT work is. OpenBSD's pf has also had performance improvements since 4.5; it would be good to see a benchmark.
