Could you tell us a bit more about what kind of performance difference
you're seeing? Specifically, what sort of workload? There are a lot of
changes between 4.x and 5.x -- SMP model changes, threading changes, file
system changes, device driver changes, etc. Trying to figure out what's
going on will require narrowing down a bit what the variables are.
Thanks,
