Just off the top of my head: - TSO (Tcp Segmentation Offload) - efficient (no copy) TCP sendfile support - Multiple MSI-X interrupt vectors (enabling RSS) - Multiple Transmit Queues per NIC - 64-bit kernel - Usable ZFS support - Dtrace works on loadable kernel modules - usable support for non-x86 / ppc arches - Local Crashdumps & "mini-dumps" - Linux binary compatibility - User controllable CPU affinity for processes and IRQ vectors It represents a huge amount of missing functionality that Darwin is missing, and most of other *nixes have. You seem to be under the (common) misconception that FreeBSD and Darwin share kernel code. For the most part, they do not. Implementing MSI-X support in Darwin would be totally different than in FreeBSD, for example.
to appear in 10.6 (we know “64-bit kernel” definitely will, for a start)? If I knew (which I do, since I'm an ADC member, and have been running the 10.6 seeds) I could not tell you due to NDA. Drew

That's not exactly a huge list. Out of curiosity… how many of those were added to FreeBSD after 10.5 was released, and how many are likely This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
