I would like to bring some of the good and = bad=20 to light (in the hopes that the developers with the correct expertise will = be=20 intrigued). =20 The tests were performed with a 'standard' installation of FreeBSD on a Len= ovo=20 ThinkPad T61. =20 I've tried to eliminate tests who's performance is a result of compiler=20 differences and/or 3rd party applications and tests who's statistical=20 significance are not so strong (subjective guess). =20 Improvements for FreeBSD 8.0 vs 7.2: - 7-Zip Compression (page 3) - Timed MAFFT Alignment (page 5) - GraphicsMagick (page 5) - Threaded IO (64MB Random Write - 32 threads) (page 7) - Threaded IO (64MB Read - 32 threads) (page 7) Regressions for FreeBSD 8.0 vs 7.2: - Gzip compressions of a 2GB file (page 3) - C-Ray (page 4) - Threaded IO (64MB Write - 4 threads) (page 7) - Threaded IO (64MB Write - 32 threads) (page 7) Poor performance relative to Linux and OpenSolaris - Threaded IO (especially random writes) (page 7) - OpenSSL (RSA 4096bit) (page 8) - PostMark (disk transaction) (page 8) It appears that threaded activity on UFS does not fair well against Linux/e= xt4=20 and OpenSolaris/ZFS.
