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."

    I like English humor. When I was in N.Z., I thought the Wizard was funny. (He's English, of course.) Recently he told me he is retiring. No more wizardry. No more British Conservative Army.

    Interesting. You get a "Funny" mod for this, and I got modded to "0, Troll" on another thread recently for making the same joke.

    Who do you have to know around here?

    Nothing is more revolting than the majority; for it consists of few vigorous predecessors, of knaves who accommodate themselves, of weak people who assimilate themselves, and the mass that toddles after them without knowing in the least what it wants. --- Von Goethe

    Mastery is often mistaken for egotism -- Von Goethe

    BSD is elite and alive and kicking with superior coders. It's quality over quantity. Ever read the "turtoise and the hare" fable ?
