disclaimer: im not an anti-linux nor a freebsd advocate
well i dont know about him and given a benchmark result made by one
person (most specially that is not a scientific approach) is not enough to
me and besides he doesnt know the ins and outs of freebsd. compare to this
cache-off, most of the vendors used an open-source OS and tried to benchmark
between linux and freebsd but still they prefer to choose the latter. i find
proxy cache is the most appropriate service to determine about the
high-performance network application because it stresses out all the aspects
of a server like disk i/o, network i/o, memory i/o, cpu i/o and others.
i have my own benchmark results too both in the lab and the real world
load that comparing linux and freebsd, the latter shows rock solid,
reliable, better and fair response time to all i/o and scalability under
heavy loads.
im not putting down linux also but i still watch and observe its
performance. but nowadays, it is too scary to implement new kernel version
of linux in a production environment due to some reports that it can corrupt
a filesystem, its virtual memory is in mess, and others.
fooler.
