Hi,
Have you tested some more real-world queries on Linux vs. FreeBSD?
The select-key.smack is a very simple test, a very small table (5.3MB on disk, 90k rows), no joins/sorts and only selects from index. Maybe the performance difference just affects the connect/communication/thread syncronistaion and thus this simple test is a worst case test of performance between Linux & FreeBSD.

I'll try to set up something here so I can make some tests too...

How does a P4/Xeon compare to Athlon64/Opteron on these tests (Linux vs FreeBSD) the long pipeline in the P4 (Prescott/Nocona) is difficult to optimize for, SMP syncronisation is also much more expensive on netburst, maybe the are better at doing this in Linux?

Regards,
Martin
