Star Review: FreeBSD 7.0
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 14th Mar 2008 20:48 UTC, submitted by Valour
FreeBSD "Here we are at the moment of truth for the FreeBSD operating system - the 7.0 release. This is what FreeBSD users and developers have been waiting for ever since the dark days of the 5.X series when the promises of superior performance, threading, and stability fell flat. Though each release in the FreeBSD 6.X series improved markedly in quality and performance, 7.0 has been widely anticipated as the release that FreeBSD fans can have confidence in. I wish I could say that FreeBSD 7.0 lived up to the hype."

Since 8.0-CURRENT is not, for the moment, vastly different from 7.0-RELEASE then it hardly makes the tests meaningless, but your point is taken.

I'm only joking, of course. But I will point out that when I quoted Nick stating that he knew of no siginificant performance related change between 2.6.24 and 2.6.25-rc3, I was told that the statement had no bearing on the matter, whatsoever. :-)
