I think we need to approach this in stages.

The first stage is to compare like with like - the latest released
slackware or RedHat Linux against the latest FreeBSD release.

If we have time left over, we can start benchmarking the experimental
branches but bear in mind that this kind of data will have a _very_
low shelf life, and constitute a fair bit of extra work for Warner (or
whomever) to keep up to date.

Hmmmm.  Sounds like you've got the bit well between your teeth! :-)

Maybe you and Warner could act as co-consipirators on this one,
or maybe Warner just wants to stick the hat on you at this
point.. :-)  Warner?
