Paul - Phoronix has a history of "performance benchmarks" that skew
*heavily* towards Linux and away from the BSDs, which is to say their
"benchmarks" are hardly indicative of Real Life.  I know I'm in for a
laugh any time I see someone reference one of their "performance
tests" regarding Linux/BSD.

Sadly, a lot of folks will look at that and say, "See? An independent,
non-biased review..."
