I have reverted it, I will turn it on after 6.0-R.
but as you are saying the panics on SMP, I have fixed it, as least I can
not reproduce it on my dual PIII machine.
In my test, ULE always outperforms 4BSD, your test may vary though.
Interactive performance is good, but not as good as 4BSD, it has to be
improved, that's why I want to turn it on as a default.
