NT Beats Linux in Round 2

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the here-it-is dept.

strat writes "PC Week ran it's own benchmarks, with Mindcraft, Microsoft and Red Hat. The margins were tighter this time, but NT still fared better. They specifically mentioned the lack of multithreading in the Linux IP stack as the main bottleneck. I wonder how 4.4lite would have fared? "

  2. Linux performance analysis by crow · · Score: 4

    (Found at LWN.) This page is full of technical analysis of the Linux kernel and Apache, explaining a number of performance problems that the benchmarks brought to light, as well as solutions for many of them.

    It sounds like a repeat test in another month or two would bring things even closer. With khttpd, we might even win.
