2.1 performance enhancements?

[bubble1975]

Hi Y'all,

Quick question - I see on this page regarding 2.1:

http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/2.1_New_Features_and_Changes

"New PF Features: Multi-Core"

I was just wondering what that meant?  Does it mean that the PF process is now multithreaded instead of giant-locked in a single thread?  That would be huge.  I would upgrade  to 2.1 from 2.0 for that alone, if that were the case.

That was a list of things we wanted to have, written quite a while ago. That one isn't likely to happen for 2.1.
