DragonFlyBSD 5.3 Works Towards Performance Improvements

PostgreSQL was running a little bit faster on DragonFlyBSD 5.3-DEVELOPMENT with this Skylake Xeon system.

The Python performance measured by PyBench was also leaning in favor of the 5.3 build even though the same versions of Python were used.

The PHP performance was also in favor of the current DragonFlyBSD development release.

Lastly the synthetic OSBench results were a bit of a mixed bag.

Overall from these tests though, DragonFlyBSD 5.3-DEVELOPMENT does indeed appear to be packing some nice performance improvements for at least some workloads and when testing on this quad-core / eight thread Intel Xeon (Skylake) system. When the stable DragonFlyBSD 5.4 release is near, I'll be back with more benchmarks.
