I'm doing some evaluation of DragonFly with regard to high performance

there are any good tweaks I should use to improve performance?

I might be wrong here, but I don't think that the network-code is all out from under the BGL yet, which would mean that you probably won't get any extra performance from more cors/CPUs.


By the way, which version are you running, unless you are running latest PREVIEW you might want to test that since they are getting close to making a new release, which means that there might be quite a difference between 1.6 and PREVIEW (or HEAD).
