- Netgraph poses locking performance problems, since locks have to be released at multiple potential transfer points, regardless of whether Netgraph is in use. This problem also exists with System V STREAMS. During the meeting we didn't come to a clear consensus on how much of a problem this really is.

FWIW, Soft Updates will have similar issues.

In Streams, this was addressed by removing two primitives, and creating what are called "priority bands" to deal with the issue (I worked for Novell USG when UnixWare was going to 2.0 and integrating the ES/MP code into the SVR4 base, and saw much of this happen).
