Linux: 1.6.0_0-b12 Solaris: 1.6.0_10-b33 FreeBSD: 1.6.0_07-b02 Since system have their local patches (I know FreeBSD does), I don't think it's even possible to test "exactly the same" version ;) But this also goes into the "What OS ships with" category. > If you want to run number crunching software, you are interested in high > computing throughput of your app, so you use a compiler which performs best > for your code in question (which would mean probably the Intel compiler or > the Portland compiler on Linux, maybe the Sun compiler on Solaris, and > probably gcc on FreeBSD).

I think they went with the "stock" configurations as that's what almost all users will use. > The "benchmark" presented there is flawed in a lot of ways.
