Anyway, that benchmark ain't worth the bandwidth spent downloading the results. At the very least, we don't know how Apache was compiled in each one. It might be just a matter of compiler optimization... We also don't see how each machine was set up/tuned, so you can just imagine what difference would a standard FreeBSD vs a standard Linux mount for the filesystem would do to performance... Really, a friend of mine, with whom I have friendly flame wars on Linux vs BSD, sent that to me, and I just had to blast the hell out of him for wasting my time with it. -- Daniel C.
