The long awaited FreeBSD 7.0 Release is out. Some highlights include:

  • Better scalability and performance improvements on SMP systems (benchmarks showed linear scaling on machines with 8 CPUs)
  • Improved the ULE and 4BSD schedulers
  • the new and highly scalable memory allocator jemalloc
  • Reading of XFS volumes
  • experimantal support of Sun's ZFS
