+Introduction
+.PP
+The purpose of this paper is to describe the tools and techniques 
+that are available for improving the performance of the the kernel.
+The primary tool used to measure the kernel is the hierarchical
+profiler \fIgprof\fP.
+The profiler enables the user to measure the cost of
+the abstractions that the kernel provides to the user.
+Once the expensive abstractions are identified,
+optimizations are postulated to help improve their performance.
+These optimizations are each individually
+verified to insure that they are producing a measurable improvement.
