Interesting topic in the linux kernel mailing list (Linux is "a lot" faster than
FreeBSD):
http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/latest.html#2

I came to use FreeBSD from Linux for servers because of kqueue.  I stayed
because I liked the entire system.  I'm sure that Linux does TCP processing as
fast as possible, and that in-kernel servers (NFS and the TUX webserver) are
blazingly fast.

I do have Linux 2.4 running on an old machine, but I have no intention of taking
down my FreeBSD box to dual boot Linux just to compare penis size.  Has anyone
recently done so?
