Fedora Core Earlier this week Phoronix published a set of comparative benchmarks regarding Ubuntu, testing various recent releases to compare their performance figures on all sorts of different tasks. They've now done the same thing for Fedora, so we can compare Fedora and Ubuntu in terms of performance.

On the whole, many of the results showed that Fedora & Ubuntu were not radically different when it cam to performance apart from Ubuntu 7.x.
Quite why these releases performed so much better than the rest in many test and also a darn sight worse is something that could well be wort investigation.

The rising times for compilations on Ubuntu is to me a source for some concern especially when you compare them to the pretty flat times of Fedora.

IMHO, Fedora just seems to be a bit more consistent in the performance dept than Ubuntu.
