Hubert, The benchmark suite in question is not bad, but it's a microbenchmark suite. BTW, when we used the suite to tune kernel for ourt needs we had to change many things. As of a year ago some tests had to be modified, otherwise we might start tuning for the wrong goals. The title of this email and the article is NetBSD beats FreeBSD in performance should be changed to NetBSD beats FreeBSD on comprehensive microbenchmark suite. I don't remember who it was, but someone posted results of real server tests. These were in favor of FreeBSD. I doubt that much changed since last year but who knows ... Maybe NetBSD is better, but this is not something that could be concluded from a microbenchmark. IMHO. igor. -----Original Message----- From: Hubert Feyrer <hubert@feyrer.de> To: freebsd-performance@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.org Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2005 02:19:37 +0100 (CET) Subject: Benchmark: NetBSD 2.0 be ats FreeBSD 5.3 in server performance > > > Gregory McGarry asked me to host and advertize this paper for him: > > Abstract: ``With the recent releases of NetBSD 2.0 and FreeBSD 5.3 operating > system, many new and exciting features have been implemented.
