There were 600-odd responses to this story on Slashdot. I can remember a time when I loved Linux, but the whiny finger-pointing and flame wars that ensued the ZDNet tests reminded me why I'd jumped ship to FreeBSD. I'd also be very interested in seeing how FreeBSD would perform on the same machine that they benchmarked Linux on. It seems that the few performance comparisons I've seen have indicated the FreeBSD generally achieves better network throughput than Linux. I've heard a lot about the not-so-fine granularity thread locking in the Linux kernel, what stage is the FreeBSD kernel at when it comes to threading? Maybe we should push ZDNet to run the benchmark suite on a FreeBSD machine, it seems like the Linux folks could get a lot of good information on where their weaknesses are from that, we could probably benefit the same way. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Len Conrad > Sent: Saturday, June 26, 1999 1:46 PM > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: > > > > >http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/news/0,4153,1015266,00.html > > Has any of the fbsd group done these kind of tests with fbsd, > either alone > or in comparison with NT and/or Linux. > > "multithreaded ip stack": do Apache and Zeus peak under fbsd for > same reason? > > Just curious, not contentious, > > Len > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
