i saw the slides a few days ago too. the performance is kinda interesting and worth testing. it can be imple- mented on newer deployment of machines but it's not that easy on existing production servers. but the author says it best,
"The point of this benchmark is not to unilaterally declare victory over Linux, but to point out that FreeBSD is once again competitive with it on modern high-end hardware and certain workloads. Of course, we are working on other workloads too, and currently perform better than Linux on other benchmarks, and still worse on others. There will no doubt be further friendly competition between the two OSes that will work to the benefit of both. Our message to the Linux developers is that they should not expect to get away with resting on their laurels :-) " --Kris Kennaway Y! might benefit from this with their fBSD + MySQL implementation but then again that might be scrapped too if the MSFT takeover pushes through :) kidding aside, i wonder what would be the reaction of Sun with their recent acquisition of MySQL AB. MySQL users might expect the best performance using Solaris but we still have to wait for a whitepaper regarding that or there's one already[1]? or MySQL/InnoDB performs best on windows[2]? :D i don't about know about the fBSD test, but MySQL users knows that there's no significant performance increase with MySQL on multiple cores[2].
