Phoronix: Debian GNU/kFreeBSD Benchmarks With Its New Kernel

As was reported recently, the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD port now has limited support for handling ZFS file-systems and its stock kernel has been upgraded against that of FreeBSD 8.1. Due to the upgraded kernel we ran a quick set of benchmarks to see how the performance of Debian GNU/kFreeBSD to that of Debian Linux.

Sometimes I just...
Using letter 'k' for something not related to kde?
Why I just... the nerve.

@klavko: the knerve .

Why mention it now supports ZFS and then do the bench on UFS?

Is there any test more useless than that SQLLite insert benchmark? Why does michael still include it in every one of these OS comparisons?

Yep, Apache benchmark done on a single machine.

OMG, apache and sqlite are extremely important benchmarks - every desktop (including netbook and mobile phone) user keeps running them all the time. If your machine can't do more than a million requests or inserts per second, you are doom3d and have kregressed. </sarcasm>

Except many desktop *nix apps use SQLite internally, and a speedup of that means a faster program as a whole (Firefox, anyone?).
Try again.

Well, to be fair, sqlite is a part of many user-level applications, such as firefox.
