Phoronix was kind enough to add a deliciously lengthy nine-page compare and contrast between FreeBSD 8 and Ubuntu 9.10 to their arsenal of articles. "Canonical will be releasing Ubuntu 9.10 at the end of next month while the final release of FreeBSD 8.0 is also expected within the next few weeks. With these two popular free software operating systems both having major updates coming out at around the same time, we decided it warranted some early benchmarking as we see how the FreeBSD 8.0 and Ubuntu 9.10 performance compares. For looking more at the FreeBSD performance we also have included test results from FreeBSD 7.2, the current stable release. In this article are mostly the server and workstation oriented benchmarks with the testing being carried out on a dual AMD Opteron quad-core workstation."

Ehm, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't all optimization basically about speed? You can optimize for I/O, filesystem, multimedia, database and/or other applications but aren't all these optimizations always about speed?
You're going to have to be more specific. Optimizing for heavy load is no good if it crawls. If fact, a machine that is slow under heavy load is not optimized at all.
