Greetings, Here is a surprisingly unbiased article comparing OSes running hard core network apps. The results are kind of disturbing, with FreeBSD (4.2) coming in last against Linux (RH), Win2k, and Solaris (Intel). http://www.sysadminmag.com/articles/2001/0107/0107a/0107a.htm The tests were performed against the TCP/IP implementation on these platforms with different system calls. File systems tests (EXT2 for Linux, UFS for FreeBSD and Solaris, and NTFS for Windows 2000) were performed by creating writing, and reading 10,000 files in the same directory, increasing the file size from 4K to 128K. Tests of various network applications based on number of simultaneous connections, process-based vs. thread-based, and sync vs. async connection handling were also performed. Hope it might be helpful to you... Matthew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
