AMD A8-7650K Radeon R7 4C+6G (4) @ 3.300GHz

Is the only thing that keeps me kissing Linux goodbye from my workstation.

I wonder though, what point there is behind the recent news of a synth rewrite in C: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=DragonFlyBSD-DSynth-Builder

Is anything known about technical reasons for such a rewrite in an arguably inferior implementation language, that cannot be handled in the Ada implementation?

That’s fine, but you are asking for it in a way that’s guaranteed to not change anything. I can’t do it; I don’t have time. It’s very frustrating to me to read people asking for something I can’t supply, and then doing it over and over again.

The benchmark methodology was documented when Francois did it, and it doesn’t require anything beyond some spare hardware and time, so it feels like you and others are being lazy and asking for a fix for a problem you can fix yourselves, much faster, and then purposely asking wrong on top of that.

I can’t tell if you are asking that repeatedly because you think it’ll work or because you’re trying to turn it into a joke/meme.

With Dillon claiming lockless have now been eliminated and SMP is a solved problem … it seems only appropriate that we get an updated perf benchmark of Dfly vs Linux.

Will dillon be a returned daniel robbins posting on a forum? I don’t even visit the funtoo forums anymore, felt weird. And isn’t there some forumlike plugin for ikiwiki?

He mentions he doesn’t know what their SMP plans are, and that’s it. I’d describe that more as “a question”.

I’m waiting for the fight to ensue. I’ve got my popcorn out ready to watch.
