Hello, I recently have just passed a server of FreeBSD 4.2 to FreeBSD 
5.3. The nasty surprise being which I note a notable reduction in the 
performances. The machine is a HP LT6000r, quadri Xeon 700 with 2Go of RAM.
The results are appreciably the same ones with a kernel including or not 
"options SMP".
Did I miss some thing?  or perhaps did this already arrive at others? In 
particular, I has just crossed this in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-config.html

Did you already test?
By advance, thank you,
