FreeBSD 8.0 vs. Ubuntu 9.10 Benchmarks

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the two-oses-enter-two-oses-leave dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Phoronix has brought benchmarks comparing the FreeBSD 8.0-RC and Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 6 operating systems. FreeBSD rather ends up taking a wallop to Ubuntu Linux, but there are a few areas where FreeBSD 8 ran well. They also posted benchmarks comparing this near-final FreeBSD 8.0 build to that of FreeBSD 7.2 to show performance improvements there but with a few regressions."

    ...once I'm done compiling.

      Given that, I think it'd be fairer to compare Gentoo against Ubuntu 10.04, don't you?

    Yes, because the masses of casual users struggling under the crushing weight of FreeBSD that was preinstalled on their PC will naturally flock to Ubuntu...

    Writing fast / optimized code doesn't mean writing hard to read code, it just means writing the best code.

    That's just darling! For some reason, I picture you writing an MD5 library that keeps a hash table of inputs to their computed outputs so that you won't have to recalculate them. That'd be fast! And optimized!

    Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
