Dave Leimbach <dleimbac@earthlink.net> types: > FreeBSD 4.2 still beats linux in every network benchmark except email > handling... <don't know why there.... :)> even in the 2.4.x kernels. It's probably the file system, which email handling exercies heavily. Linux runs their file systems in async mode by default (I'm not sure if this can be fixed), which makes the file system faster but less robust. If you're doing benchmarks, you can mount FreeBSD file systems async so long as you don't have softupdates enabled on the file system. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
