Question on 4.2 Performance Article in Usenix Procs.

[Dan Forsyth]

We're getting ready to convert to 4.2BSD in the next couple of months
(we had to wait until we could buy another machine).  In thumbing
through old Usenix conference proceedings I noticed an article by
Leffler, Karels, and McKusick entitled "Measuring and Improving the
Performance of 4.2BSD".  It outlines a number of performance
modifications they made to 4.2 so that it will run as fast as 4.1.

Now, for all of you wizards who are in the know, my question is this:

    I should (choose the best answer)
	a) not worry because all of these improvements are in the
	   original 4.2 distribution.
	b) spend a few more bucks and get a recent distribution
	   with the fixes.
	c) wait a few more months and then spend the money for
	   a new distribution.
	d) not worry because they will never be distributed.
