I can't show the figures, but I gave the feeling that FreeBSD behaves
better under heavy load. I have a production FreeBSD 4-STABLE
webserver that runs ugly 2-years-old perl scripts written by an
apprentice programmer (currently the software is being rewritten in
PHP :)). Sometimes when the site is seriously hit (sometimes i can
hardly type a letter on a console), it is going serve requests (of
course, it slows, but ...). When the load is falling after the peak,
it recovers VERY fast, and works fine then. I also have a Debian
Potato for testing. When I seriously hit it, It is NEVER recovers
itself without my intervention (maybe I lack patience ? :) ), I should
do something like killall -1 httpd to restore normal operations.
