so using ULE in 7 is ok ? ? ?

you already told once ULE is broken in 6 what is nonsense as probably using 
ULE in 7 is ...

ULE in 6.x is absolutely ok and it runs depending on situation faster than 
4BSD with correct kernel and sysctl settings for it and it is perfectly 
stable, specially with polling + net.isr.enable + net.inet.ip.forwarding + 
some other tweaks depending on the servers load and several NICs on a router 
probably up to 4-6MB continuous throughput when then 4BSD gets faster but not 
so much, small and midsize MySQL seems to be faster with ULE too especially 
with small r/w  packages

ULE also seems to be faster on a desktop with SMP and KDE on X2 CPUs and you 
can feel it
