      I am still using a Soekris net4501 that has 128mb of ram, instead of the normal 64mb.
      I don't intend to migrate from it in 1.2.3 if I don't have to, how should the performance differ?

      I can't demo it myself right now, so any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

        Considering that 1.2 and 1.3 (1.2.3 isn't mentioned in the wiki) are both on FBSD 6.2, I wouldn't expect any significant difference in performance, but I can't speak from experience, nor do I have any specific knowledge on the differences from a development point of view.

          I'm running yesterday's (post PPPoE fix) snapshot on my ALIX 2d3.  I think it's faster, but it's more of a "feel" than anything measurable.  I don't use traffic shaping, but it seems that my total bandwidth is divided up among several streams rather elegantly and even better than with 1.2.2.  But again, it's more of a "feel" thing.  Perhaps it's the FBSD 7.2 kernel.  YMMV

            I just updated the versions list. I had it in another article, but I updated the list and redirected the other article there as well.

            I've booted and run recent 1.2.3-RC snapshots on an older WRAP board with 128MB RAM and it seemed happy, but didn't test it extensively.

              Excellent, thanks all. Sounds like things will be just fine.

              Even a small performance hit would be acceptable, just worried about something major.
