BlogBench that simulates the workload of a busy file server with many random reads, writes, and rewrites came out much better on FreeBSD 14.0. The new FreeBSD 14.0 upgrades to OpenZFS 2.2 for its ZFS file-system implementation plus moves from LLVM Clang 14 to LLVM Clang 16 and other software package upgrades.
