Hello,
I´ve installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 in my PC machine. I compiled my own
programs and started to running them. For my surprise, I checked that
FreeBSD programs spent almost 50% more time than the same program compiled
to linux. I checked several compile options, but it did not have good results.
5.2.1 is not a strong performer. It's ALPHA code.
If you want to do performance testing, either use 4.10, or work with the 5.3 BETAs. 5.2.1 isn't supposed to be fast yet.
I really don't think the problem is that simple. How about either giving him a real answer or none at all?
But the problem IS that simple. 5.2.1 wasn't meant to be fast, however in 5.3, developers have worked hard to make several performance improvements, and it shows. I'd say his answer hits the nail right on the head.
Don't use a version that is known to be slow and for developers only if you want
speed and stability.
