Why are you trying to make an anonymous comparison? It is obvious you are running Linux 1.3.87 as "Unix A" and FreeBSD 2.0.5 as "Unix B".

A *little* questionable? I'd say the benchmark is completely useless. Comparing code that was released today with code that was released a year ago proves nothing. Try running at least a stable snapshot of FreeBSD, or better yet a -current release. -- Brian Tao (BT300, taob@io.org) Systems and Network Administrator, Internex Online Inc.
