Benchmarking the Scalability of BSD and Linux

Posted by michael on from the pedal-to-the-metal dept.

Fefe writes "I recently did some benchmarks for a talk about scalable network programming I held at Linux Kongress 2003. The benchmark results turned out to be surprising enough to present them on their own. This ought to end those pesky flame wars about whose IP stack or memory management scales better. Or maybe not."

    Can anyone explain the discontinuities in the FreeBSD plots?

    I would have thought that was obvious.. .. BSD is dying. :)

    Apparently the webserver with the results didn't scale so well. It's /.ed already.

    I took three computers out in my rowboat, a Windows system, a Linux system, and a BSD system, and threw them overboard to see what would happen.

    The Windows system sank like a rock, the Linux system bobbed back to the surface, and the BSD system rose to the sky, to be greated by a chorus of angels.

    Then I woke up, so I don't know what the angels were singing.
