We recently put a stock Fedora Core 6 and a stock FreeBSD 6.2 on the
same HW (HP ProLiant DL320 G5 Dual Core Xeons w/ 16GB RAM) and running
BIND 9.4.0 and a well known ccTLD zone that we slammed a query stream
to.  On a single threaded BIND, there was a 20% advantage to Linux, on a
multi threaded build, Linux trounced FreeBSD (39k to 89k queries/sec)

There's also been other analysis done by Marcelo Amarai @ Registro.br
that was posted to freebsd-net back last September.

I have a couple of dual Woodcrests running back-to-back over multiple
10GigE cards that I'd like to do performance testing with. Did you use
the same testing methodology as Marcelo? If not can you go into more
detail on your setup and how to reproduce?
