Hi,

I did some benchmarking one machine with both FreeBSD and Linux as the
OS, and got the following results..

I know this doesn't mean that Linux rulez, but why does FreeBSD perform
under 1/4 of when Linux was installed in the filesystem tests?

SCSI controller: Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x
Disc:  QUANTUM, ATLAS 10K 9WLS, Rev: UCH0
CPU: Pentium III, 533 MHz
RAM: 256 MB

On RedHat Linux the compiler was: egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2
release).

Once again let my clarify that I understand that these doesn't prove
anything really useful, I'm just wondering why FreeBSD performs as it
does..


Best regards
Rasmus
