[21:27] <@dillon> the current implementation is pretty bad, though it is using VOP_READ so there should be read-ahead by virtue of it going through the filesystem
[21:27] <@vsrinivas> also its mplocked.
[21:28] <@vsrinivas> actually looks not; just around the fd work.
[21:28] <@thesjg> so feel free to drop all your insight on me and i'll make note of it
[21:28] <@thesjg> but i'm not prepared to do it quite yet
[21:28] <@dillon> it shouldn't need that mplock since its holding the fp
[21:29] <@vsrinivas> ummm -- in the core loop it ssb_lock()s; 
[21:29] <@vsrinivas> tcp output needs the ssb lock also iirc to read from that queue.
[21:29] <@dillon> w/ regards to the rest I think it can pass a larger value in the ioflags it passes to VOP_READ ... figure out what the maximum sequential heuristic value is there and pass that
[21:29] <@dillon> (in the upper 16 bits.  See line 1694)

    Many of the best ideas and implementations of those ideas in the realm of
computing come about when a single individual decides to sit down and create
something. It may be a new feature or entire system, or perhaps a new take on an
old idea. Perhaps popularized by Eric S. Raymond, in software engineering
parlance this is sometimes referred to as “scratching an itch” (Raymond, pars.
6-8). DragonFly BSD is a liberally licensed Unix-like operating system
