Has anyone benchmarked free BSD against Darwin 1.3.1 for X8.6? As Darwin in based on Mach3, precisely the microkernel Linus had in mind in his bio, some benchmarks ought to give an indication of the performance hits taken by microkernels in general, and Mach in particular. The supported hardware is not too taxing, so it ought not be too difficult to set up.
