%Basically there are some applications and benchmarks for which FreeBSD

uh, "benchmarks" only, until evidence is produced otherwise.

Tuning for benchmarks has been around a long long time.

People get worked up about this because the people who give
out the money to buy the systems use benchmarks to decide
whom to give the money to.  

It's really, really stupid to rely on generic benchmarks.

But people do, anyway.  So I guess whistle and some others should
invest in tuning for the benchmarks.  Like jupiter, eh?  Or maybe
Apple.
 
But for the rest, I wouldn't panic.

In fact, there's probably some interesting kernel architecture
issues here.  Let's hear them, now!  If I wanted secrecy about
architecture details there's a shitload less time consuming
ways to do it then follow FreeBSD.
