From what I understand, programming with the DragonFly version of this will be much easier; performance probably will be better, but I’m basing that on prior example and not testing. :)

Yes, I am aware that DragonFly’s networking code was made nearly completely MP safe in *much* less time that FreeBSD’s code was (congratulations on that BTW ;^), I’m just not sure if their recent activity has brought them up to speed so that both projects are now on “equal” footing or not.
