When VMware Performance Fails, Try BSD Jails

Siker writes in to tell us about the experience of email transfer service YippieMove, which ditched VMware and switched to FreeBSD jails. "We doubled the amount of memory per server, we quadrupled SQLite's internal buffers, we turned off SQLite auto-vacuuming, we turned off synchronization, we added more database indexes. We were confused. Certainly we had expected a performance difference between running our software in a VM compared to running on the metal, but that it could be as much as 10X was a wake-up call."

    Let me know when the its fat price tag finally results in anything on the performance side that beats VBox or Xen.

    I agree, certain races, such as niggers, spics, kikes and fish-heads, just aren't suitable to function in our modern white society and should be sent back to their respective countries. We should meet up for casual sex, I bet you have a nigger cock.

    You ask that the OS be put into a virtual machine, would you not expect a big performance hit??? It is only common sense to anyone with any basic computer knowledge. You are adding another layer between the hardware and the program, what do you think would happen?
