I've just been talking with a friend of mine from the Samba team. He's about to change jobs, and a lot of his work in future will involve FreeBSD. He's just been doing some performance testing, and while the numbers are pretty even (since he discovered soft updates :-), he's noticing some significant performance differences, particularly on the TCP/IP area. He is going to be sending me a copy of his preliminary report later today, and he doesn't mind sharing it. I'm a little concerned about the "Them vs. Us" attitude such a report could cause. He's not out to show that Linux is better than FreeBSD; on the contrary, he would be a lot happier if the results were in favour of FreeBSD, since otherwise he has to do something about it. I'd like a few of us to take a look at what he's done first, and either point out where he can tune the FreeBSD system, or how to find and eliminate the bottlenecks. Who's interested?
