Has anyone tried benchmarking DragonflyBSD against FreeBSD 5.x and 6.x for
some of the specific workloads people are reporting issues with?

I'll try to get around to benchmarking TCP socket transaction throughput
(connect()/accept(), read/write, close() as FreeBSD 6 and Linux-2.6 systems
seem to spend quite a large percentage of CPU time creating and tearing down
TCP sockets for some reason. No, I haven't yet done any kernel profiling,
this is just from measured transaction rates from userland.
