Howdy,
We went yesterday to Compaq Computer to benchmark FreeBSD. We didn't
optimize the kernel as our interest was only seeing if it work well on
Compaq boxes or not.
We had to remove the ultra-wide SCSI (RAID) card nad we couldn't get the
PCI network card configured (matter of time, perhaps). The bytebench was
interesting, as a lower end Prosignia gave about half the performance of
a middle class Proliant, except for one test where the Prosignia won.
The /var filesystem filled and therefore one of the tests failed.
I plan to make the results available on either the Newsletter or a web
page,
but I'm attaching the result of lmbench for a Prosignia 2500, in case
someone is interested. While the test was running we were running some
fancy stuff:
XFree86 with fvwm2, xplanet, xlock, and xsnow. (We had to give the right
impression to Compaq :-) ).

cheers,
	Pedro.
