LLVM's Clang Is Finally The FreeBSD x86 Compiler

How do you benchmark a kernel anyway ? Most of the benchmarks on Phoronix are testing programs.
What will a kernel benchmark include ? latency ? throughput ? memory consumption ? better scheduling ?

Altough some of the methods might make sense the paper itself really doesn't tell much if anything about the kernel performance. They tested the operating systems with one very specific and uncommon set of hardware with single core processor. They also tested only very few factors that affect kernel performance. The conclusion is in all likelhood false and at very least dated.

Lol. FreeBSD sucks.

There is no Gnome 3 for BSD they're still at 2.3.x something.

That's actually wrong.
OpenBSD is shipping Gnome 3 since version 5.1.

Interesting... altought I think far from ideal, it is much more relevant than Phoronix tests.
