All,
This post is not about BSD VS. Linux and should not be taken that
way. I think that "Flame Wars/Engineer Wars" are waste of time and
energy. I was surprised by my test results and didn't want to take
FBSD out of the loop just yet. There may be flaws in my testing that
have led me to inaccurate results. I didn't share the testing details
in the original mail because of time constraints, and the notes are
fairly lengthy. I will add my notes to this mail so that there is a
better understanding of what tests I performed, and their results. It's important to note that I did not tweak any of the default
settings of the OS or DB. The notes should be generally self
explanatory, but will be more that happy to clarify any questions that
you have. As a side note, I chose the email address linicks because
by name is Nick, and thought it was a fun play on words. I appreciate
all of your feedback, so that I can better understand the differences
in these great operating systems and communities.
Thanks Again! --Nick Pavlica
"OK, The testing notes already" :)
Hi, please put your test results on a web page so that everyone who is interested can look them up and everyone who is not interested does not have to pay for receiving such a long mail.
You are using different versions of postgresql? Did you set up the three systems with the same partitioning or did you set up all three on one harddrive? What is the meaning of this email: regarding your test FreeBSD is not as fast as the other OSes - so what do you want to know? I do not get it.

In addition, was on OS running a window manager and the other not? Was one running ssh and the other not, was FBSD running Linux emu? ... Was one running (insert program) and the other not...
When you run each side by side, process for process, thread for thread, version for version - nothing extra on one over the other, then post your results.
Funny thing about polls/tests/ etc. the results can be portrayed to reflect one biased point of view over another.
I apologize for my cynicism - but I don't put a heck of a lot of faith in any type of poll (in your case, a test) that can be tainted by the slightest bit of prejudice.
