No but many people run servers on single CPU machines and performance on those matters too. Just because a benchmark result is not what you might like it to tell you doesn't mean its not valid or that it doesn't highlight valid concerns. For example on the process creation benchmark (and yes, it is a valid and interesting benchmark, even in uniprocessor case), its clear that both systems exhibit a split behaviour where in some processes are creating in some linear minimal time and others scale lineraily with number of processes. It just happens that in case of freebsd the majority appear to follow the linear case. There are also cases where FreeBSD is clearly ahead, which is good. > > greets, josef > -- > Josef El-Rayes (__) > Email: josef@daemon.li \\\'',) > Web: http://daemon.li/ \/ \ ^ > FreeBSD Security Team .\._/_)
