OK, if you want to start a ranged battle then here we go (I suppose posting such a benchmark on Bots United has something to do with my new avatar, what, you don't like it ? )

I don't see what OpenBSD has to do in a scalability benchmark... everybody knows the main concern of this OS is stability and security, not speed of code nor scalability... and furthermore this idiot took OpenBSD-current which is the most unstable WIP, being not recommended for anyone to use BUT the OpenBSD developers, and if it was not sufficient he enables the IPv6 stack, which is VOLUNTARILY broken in OpenBSD because of its security issues !

And the guy does not seem to know that NetBSD and OpenBSD are still using a static library model, unlike FreeBSD and Linux which use dynamic libraries... this falsifies completely the benchmark

He sems to be completely clueless of what's up in the BSD world all along the benchmark, anyway. I seriously doubt even his unpartiality

However these numbers tend to show that Linux seem to have improved a lot since the 2.4 series, which is a good thing (it would be great if it also improved in terms of stability, but one obviously cannot have everything at once )
