DragonFlyBSD 5.2, TrueOS 18.03, FreeBSD 11.1, Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 & Clear Linux Tests

With the CompileBench workload, FreeBSD 11.1 with ZFS was the fastest at the compile task followed by Intel's Clear Linux and then the FreeBSD-derived TrueOS platform (formerly known as PC-BSD). But in the more I/O intensive initial create process, Clear Linux was the fastest followed by Ubuntu.

In the basic Polybench-C benchmark, TrueOS 18.03 with its default Clang compiler was the fastest...

While in the Blake2 crypto test, the older Ubuntu 16.04 LTS platform was the fastest.

When it came to the Golang HTTP test, Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS was the fastest with Clear Linux while DragonFlyBSD 5.2's Go was by far the slowest.

Or in the Golang JSON parsing test, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and DragonFlyBSD 5.2 were now the slowest.

The Go build test does seem to show some measurable problems with DragonFly's Go support or packaging.
