Hi Jonathan,

I've been running mp1 under FreeBSD 4.9 for several years without
incident (was using Apachetoolkit to compile from scratch). Recently
I've been working on getting mp2 installed under FreeBSD 5.3. Outside of
some issues with the tests running inside of a jailed process[1], I've
seen no problems.

I haven't gone into production with mp2 nor have I done any benchmark
comparisons. However, I have noticed that my web pages can sometimes
load faster off the live server that sits halfway across the US vs. my
local Linux server (it's a bit of an unfair comparison as the hardware
on the production server is far more powerful).

HTH,
William

[1] Stas, I'm still working on tracking down the issues. Just been
sidetracked by my work lately.
