Yeah, DragonFlyBSD also re-implemented the BSD kernel as a message passing architecture. They’ve declared a win as well. ☺

The Mach guys are finally going to have a win of sorts. ---- Jack Kramer On Jan 4, 2018, at 10:09 AM, Michael B. Smith <mich...@smithcons.com<mailto:mich...@smithcons.com>> wrote: None. Microsoft says it’s “minimal but dependent on customer workload”. This is confirmed by what I’ve seen posted on twitter so far. A couple of percentage points. Linux is seeing a minimum of 5% performance reduction and as high as 23% (so far). It may, for once, finally be true to say: Windows is faster than Linux. ☺ (Paul Thurrott is gloating about this on twitter.)

But saw there might be a 30 percebt performance hit with windows.. is pretty ugly.. Nice job intel.. way to mess it up again. Ed On Jan 4, 2018 8:54 AM, "Michael B.
