I wouldn't place any validity, whatsoever, on those tests. They claim that FreeBSD is 6x slower on disk writes than Linux and Windows. I say hogwash: http://www.potentialtech.com/wmoran/postgresql.php#results You can see that FreeBSD is only slightly slower than Linux in these tests ... I find it hard to believe that a properly configured FreeBSD system could ever be 6x slower than Linux. I find it much easier to believe that the people who ran the tests don't know how to set up FreeBSD. Do some searches and you'll find that this artical has been discussed on this list ad-nausium ... since it's so obviously bogus or biased. They don't even give details of the hardware or software setups used to test, so it's possible that the HDD controller was not fully supported by FreeBSD, or that the disks were mounted full-sync. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
