well, most of the work having been done by others, I doubt you need my talk :-)

For those of you going to IWP9, you can push on Nemo and Gorka and
Enrique for info, hopefully Charles will be there too.

However, certain things do work very very well when one has lots of
memory, and even better with 2 MB and 1 GiB PTEs, and when one owns a
core and is not even pre-empted by APIC interrupts, well ... things
can be even better. The performance on FTQ is as good as it can get,
and good performance on FTQ has shown to be a good thing to have in my
world.

And we're not even into the zero copy system calls yet!
