List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Earlier in the 2.4.x series I noted a strange anomaly: NetBSD nfsroot clients were able to drive up the load on a 2.4.x NFS server to 10 or 20. This was doubly surprising as the clients were machines of far lesser power than the NFS server (e.g. sun3/60 vs. a 600MHz Athlon running Linux ~2.4.8). A pleasant surprise occurred today while doing make build simultaneously on all 3 of my NetBSD toasters (sun3/60, ss1, and decstation 5000/200): The load average on my main machine (the NFS server, 2.4.18-pre7-ac3) remained quite low, and the machine quite responsive. I confess I haven't been following the developments closely, but I can say thank you, and congratulations on the performance improvement.
