please don't pay any attention to Phoronix "benchmarks".  it's fairly
clear from looking at some of what they've published in the past that
they have no editorial standards at all and the results they produce are
meaningless; for example the "benchmark" where they claimed zstd
compression on FreeBSD was about ~10x slower than on Linux, yet they did
not think this was worth investigating or even mentioning in their
write-up even though it makes no sense at all and is clearly some kind
of measurment error.

i would hate for someone to put any amount of effort into attempting to
"fix" any "problems" raised by Phoronix benchmarks only to find out the
source data is nonsense.
