Who Has Faster Pipes? Linux, Win2000, WinXP Compared

The performance testing was on Pipes(interprocess communication mechanism available on both Windows and Linux and UNIX). Although I new Linux would fare the best, the poor performance of Windows XP was a surprise. Windows 2000 actually did better than XP!"

  1. What about BSD... Solaris? by isa-kuruption · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Okay... I don't think there would be any arguement Linux is better at piping than Windows, but what about *BSD and Solaris? Why weren't they compared in the survey? I'd like to see how BSD compares to Linux, since there are plenty of Linux vs. BSD debates going around.

    As a BSD user, I'm looking for another thing to rub in the face of Linux users, because it is common knowledge BSD is better (stack is faster, and of course, FreeBSD had support for the Promise ATA100 RAID controller long before the RedHat people stole the source code w/o putting int he license agreement).

    So... can someone do a non-biased testing between Linux, BSD and Solaris?
