Re: ULE vs. 4BSD in RELENG_7

I'm confident that we can improve things. It will probably not make the
cut for 7.0 since it will be too disruptive. I'm sure it can be
backported before 7.1 when ULE is likely to become the default.

That sounds great! I figured it was something that would have to wait
until 7.0 released. I completely understand that.

I hope that we can continue to work together to verify any fixes I may
come up with.

Absolutely! Just let me know how I can help. If you need a guinea
pig...er...tester :) I'll be glad to help!

Another thing I noticed between ULE and 4BSD is my core temperatures
seem erratic on ULE. I use RRDtool with the new coretemp(4) feature
and noticed the temperatures are spiking a lot with ULE, and generally
slightly higher than when running a 4BSD kernel. I don't know if
that's significant or not. Just something I noticed when I modified my
RRD scripts to use coretemp.

For a side-by-side comparison, see this page:

Thanks again for all your help! Please let me know if/when I can do
anything else to help out.

Regards,
Josh
