To be fair, the tests were conducted in a fair environment, and
pointed out to both the Linux and BSD communities that not everything
is perfect.  Of course, it also gave us an incentive to fix the
situation :-)

The real question about the Mindcraft benchmarks is "who cares?".  The
benchmark did not represent a real-life situation.  In a corresponding
real-life situation (IIRC with dynamic HTML), Linux or FreeBSD will
outperform Microsoft.
