Hello, Samuel. You wrote 15 =E4=E5=EA=E0=E1=F0=FF 2011 =E3., 16:32:47: > Other benchmarks in the Phoronix suite and their representations are > similarly flawed, _ALL_ of these results should be ignored and no time > should be wasted by any FreeBSD committer further evaluating this > garbage. (Yes, I have been down this rabbit hole). Here is one problem: we have choice from three items: (1) Make FreeBSD looks good on benchmarks by "fixing" FreeBSD (2) Make FreeBSD looks good on benchmarks by "fixing" Phoronix (communication with them, convincing, that they benchamrks are unfare / meaningless, ets) (3) Lose [potential] userbase. You know, that these benchmarks are bad. I know. But potential (and even some current!) user doesn't. And it seems, that these benchmarks become popular over Internet. --=20 // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>
