5 Years of Linux Kernel Releases Benchmarked

Posted by samzenpus on from the line-them-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Phoronix has published benchmarks of the past five years worth of Linux kernel releases, from the Linux 2.6.12 through Linux 2.6.37 (dev) releases. The results from these benchmarks of 26 versions show that, for the most part, new features haven't affected performance."

    phoronix is an embarrassment to open source and linux devs. Worst site ever.

    They're phoronix, you can't seriously expect them to do anything approaching a proper job of the benchmarks, can you?
