Contributed by deanna on from the making pf faster dept.
As some of you might have noticed, I worked on network stack and especially pf performance in calgary. This led to quite massive improvements - one diff in particular doubled pf performance in our test scenario; undeadly covered that, and dlg and I gave a quick talk about it.
Now I am back in Hamburg and would like to continue that work. There is quite a lot more performance to gain, but I need to be able to measure, profile etc. For that I need two (preferably identical) 1u rackmount, very fast single-CPU machines here in Hamburg, asap, since I have some time for such development right now. If you can help, please drop deraadt@ and me an email.

I wish I knew a vendor who was willing to pony up the h/w, but what few contacts I have are in the States.
g.luck and thanks for the work.

OpenBSD hopefully is gaining marketshare which should make quick funding requests easier.
Thanks all to the OpenBSD team.

Its like, what is even 10K a year to OpenBSD, relative to even a few extra sales? Now, thats being CHEAP!
Reminds me of the scene in the movie, "The Right Stuff," "No bucks, No Buck Rodgers."
Funding, and media, very powerfull, and often a major pain to keep in sync.
Anyway, wishing the best to OpenBSD.

google donated $10,000 last year, and promotes summer of code which has contributed to bsd code at least and, i think, some project were specific to openbsd. also google employs several developers.
probably wrong to put them in that list of companies.
i may have 1U servers i can get my hands on. penguin computing boxes, dual p3 at worst, dual xeon at best, if any left.
would that be desirable?
