Has anyone comapred the preceived speed of the following under FreeBSD
and Linux?

XFree86
KDE
Enlightenment
IceWM
all with a RivaTnT2 16 mb card, or equivalent?

I'm trying to explain to a pal who tried BSD recently why this might
be.  He also had problems with running netscape w/o a.out X binaries
(probably because he didn't use the port, right?)  And he also said he
 had to reboot to use newly installed libraries, that ldconfig did not
 work.  He's an advanced Unix/Linux user, so i don't know what i could
 do to help him, and these are all the details i have.  But i would
 like to respond with something positive in the way of BSD advocacy,
 even if it doesn't change his mind and bring him back to BSD.  He
 just felt it reminded him too much of Xenix times, w/o bells and
 whistles.
