Tune them to the max, each perspective that could be modified to increase performance, then run silly write/read test, connect() test whatever. And in your test, show all the performance options you used and whatnot, and this benchmark should be redone periodly with new advices to show people what OS is the fastest when it's leg is pulled. As for the benchmark briefly, It's biased because whoever did it knew fuck nothing about Unix and Linux doesnt need tuning so Linux won period. Linux is tuned out of the box, where the others are tuned for stability. Thank you.
