    Has anyone looked at the performance of a UP* system on RELENG_4 vs
    RELENG_5 as an NFS and SAMBA server ? I need to deploy such a box and was
    wondering if someone has run through this exercise recently** ?

    I know quite often when the ugly asterisk laden word "benchmark" comes up
    the rush of groans is deafening. But if you dont use benchmarking programs
    as _part_ of the evaluation process, how do you determine what will perform
    best for you ?

    *Its not of interest to me if SMP makes a difference. The hardware is UP.
    **I found some discussions from Oct / Nov of 2004, but that was related
    more to a bug in the em driver affecting RELENG_5 network performance
