Hi, Recently there was a culomn in byte.com by Moshe Bar, and his tests seemed to show that FreeBSD-4.1.1 could still beat the Linux 2.4.0 kernel. The test machine was a 2-way SMP machine, running the a giant locked FreeBSD-4.1.1 kernel and also a fine-locked 2.4.0 Linux kernel. Here's the link: http://www.byte.com/column/BYT20010130S0010 On Thu, 22 Mar 2001, Jonathan Graehl wrote: > Interesting topic in the linux kernel mailing list (Linux is "a lot" faster than > FreeBSD): > http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/latest.html#2 > > I came to use FreeBSD from Linux for servers because of kqueue.
