The linux numbers are my 486 at home. They should be slower. I haven't looked over the new results yet, there are a *lot* of results pooring in. : actually the big surprise for me was walking the results and seeing : freebsd outrunning linux in so many areas on the 100 mhz boxes. I knew : that it was marginally faster in places but the margin this time (except : for ctx) was surprising. Also the aix ctx results are interesting: kind of : shows the advantage of single-address-space operating systems, as opposed : to the unix model. : : It's useful to show freebsd performance at the limit. But it's also : useful to show it on a plain vanilla 133 mhz box without $$$ boltons. : : BTW ttcp on freebsd on 100BT interfaces (SMC) is at about 56 Mhz. These : are neptune, i understand triton would be better. : : ron : : Ron Minnich |Like a knife through Daddy's heart: : rminnich@earth.sarnoff.com |"Don't make fun of Windows, daddy!
