I don’t have actual numbers, but I do have a note: DragonFly network performance is pretty darngood.

This is quite interesting. I had always assumed that FreeBSD and DragonflyBSD were pretty much neck and neck with regard to network performance. Netflix (among others) have sponsored a great deal of code enhancements to ensure that FreeBSD is quite performant. Serving up 30%+ of North American Internet traffic at peak times is no small feat. If Dragonfly scales better in this regard it is definitely a huge win for the Dfly team. It also demonstrates very well that is not the quantity but the quality of developers that matters.
I think I can speak for many when I say I’m dying to some benchmarks!
