Thanks for your reply, okay, then i'd like to enable preemption.
I noticed it's not in the GENERIC kernel config file.
So: options	PREEMPTION
would suffice to enable it i guess?
Any experience with preemption. noticable changes?
So the problem: "PREEMPTION triggers frequent hangs" is resolved?
Btw, is RELENG_5 also stable or only for early adopters?
I really would like to see ule working stable in combination with 
preemption, but in 5.3 it won't happen. Maybe ule will be enabled later in 
the 5 series?

Is "Fine-grained network stack locking without Giant" imported in 5.3 or 
is a giant lock networking stack still in 5.3?
Bye,
