Hi,
Recently there was a culomn in byte.com by Moshe Bar, and his tests seemed
to show that FreeBSD-4.1.1 could still beat the Linux 2.4.0 kernel. The
test machine was a 2-way SMP machine, running the a giant locked
FreeBSD-4.1.1 kernel and also a fine-locked 2.4.0 Linux kernel. Here's the
link: http://www.byte.com/column/BYT20010130S0010
