Hans,

exactly what you want to measure? I have UP, 2way-SMP and 4way-SMP
machines all of which have at least Linux+FreeBSD installed. All my tests
so far (e.g. comparing NFS servers or filesystems etc) showed Linux (2.4)
to be a lot faster than FreeBSD in all areas. However, to get specific
answers you need to ask specific questions. Ask and you shall receive.

(things like SPEC SFS results I can't tell because it is illegal (without
going through proper steps of publishing them), I shouldn't even be saying
that they show Linux to be much faster :)
