First of all, I just want to make experiments, not to use it for
production. I can understand poor peripheral support, but as to bad
performance -- it was quite surprising to me. Is there good reasons
for Darwin x86 to be less efficient than Darwin PPC?
For my experiments I need only good performance of thread scheduler,
malloc, IPC and probably TCP/IP stack + Gigabit Ethernet driver. Can't
see why x86 port is sure to have bad performance in this case.
If it's offtopic there, I'm ready to go away.
