My colleges benchmarked SL60 vs. Ubuntu 11.04 server using Phoronix and in most of the tests U went ahead of SL by few percent. I got curious about this and tried to tune something - recompiled stock kernel with some server performance options like config_preempt_none, and also used recent fedora kernel 2.6.38 to match that of U. While this brought some marginal improvements in SL test scores, U was still ahead. Don't know how to explain this apart from that RH6 is older that U11.04 or that ubuntu kernel is server optimized (build options at least), but still interested to hear some ideas from experts... cheers Artem.
