The Rustlang performance was similar between the operating systems under test.

FreeBSD 12.0 with its stock ZFS file-system configuration led to slower performance than the other operating systems. DragonFlyBSD with its now-mature HAMMER2 file-system surprisingly was running well with PostgreSQL at least as far as read performance is concerned.

When running more realistic reads and writes with PostgreSQL, FreeBSD with ZFS did come out ahead of openSUSE Tumbleweed with its default XFS+Btrfs setup and DragonFlyBSD HAMMER2 did perform better too, but Ubuntu 19.04 atop EXT4 was running the strongest.

As we've seen on other systems, the BSDs still tend to run Python scripts slower than Linux distributions.

The BSD vs. Linux PHP script performance is at least more competitive.

So for those curious about the FreeBSD/DragonFlyBSD performance on the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, it's reasonably well and similar to what we've seen out of other modern x86_64 CPUs. At least with this Ryzen 7 3700X + MSI GODLIKE X570 setup, there weren't any compatibility issues to note. As well, no stability issues were experienced under the range of single and multi-threaded workloads carried out.
