What is a compelling reason to use 4.11 rather than 6.x ?

I haven't installed FreeBSD 4.X since 5.3 came out but I
have heard from
some of my geek buddies that 4.11 is still faster on
uniprocessor machines
than 5.x or even 6.x.  Personally, I love 6.x and I really
see no benefit to
using 4.x even on single processor boxes.

I agree completely.  6.1 is a big win in a lot of ways.

There are special cases where 4.11 performs far better on
uniprocessors, and no doubt it will live on as a vintage
release for
quite some time because it's still going to be popular with
ISPs and
ASPs.  Same thing happened with the 2.6 branch.  Yahoo kept
running it
till buying compatible hardware became difficult.

So even though I personally find 6.1 better in general, we
should keep
in mind that there will still be people for whom asterisk
support on 4.11
will be quite valuable, for things like higher hosting
density or embedded
appliance performance, for example.

Cheers,
Rich
