Warm Greetings To GTALUG,
FYI.
Below is a forward of an email from one of the developers of the DragonFlyBSD
(dfly) operating system.
The PDF at the link target gives a nice one-page graph showing the performance
hits due to fixes for Meltdown and Spectre.
Dfly is not LInux but a highly performant BSD flavour I have installed dfly for
testing under a VPS. Thinking to use dfly, instead of Linux, for better HTTP
server resource efficiency. But also always keeping the website operational
under a debian Linux for development, reference, maintenance and emergency
fallback.

Meltdown+spectre means that performance is dropped by 35%, and 99th
percentile of latency is increased by 55%!
Thanks,
