That reminds me of the monthly PSMB Load Balancing meeting a few of the old BIG-IP data plane folks used to have many years ago. (Peat Smoke and Malted Barley.) RIP, Jack.

It helps if you realize that BIG-IP 9.0 was essentially a from-scratch rewrite of BIG-IP 4.5. Among other major redesigns, the data plane was moved from BSD kernel space to Linux user space. Internally, the joke was that it would be two times better when we were done (4.5 * 2 = 9.0). It probably was, but not on day zero.
