The `netmap` stuff (high-performance networking stack) is really neat. The author's site has a lot more information about it if you're interested: http://info.

The author's site has a lot more information about it if you're interested: http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ I'm curious to see what kind of performance is possible with FreeBSD 10 (using `netmap`) and the new I/O manager which will be included in the upcoming GHC 7.8 release. The combination seems like it would be epic in terms of web server performance, and it might be a nice choice for web hosting companies / CDNs who have a vested interest in reducing latency as much as possible.
