See,
that's one of the things I find broken about NetBSD: this wasn't
true of NetBSD ten years ago. It mostly wasn't true of NetBSD five
years ago. But, in recent years, NetBSD has gotten sloppy, no longer
letting their old-hardware ports keep them honest with respect to doing
things right instead of just hitting them with Moore's Law.
I call this
pragmatic. You can spend endless brain cycles in
microoptimizations or just give it the CPU cycles. Yes, it is a bit sad
that this happens. But beeing a volunteer project, the amount of brain
cycles that the NetBSD project can spend on platforms like VAX or HP300
is quite limited.
