Beyond Coding

FreeBSD 7.0 release annoucement.

Dramatic improvements in performance and SMP scalability shown by various database and other benchmarks, in some cases showing peak performance improvements as high as 350% over FreeBSD 6.X under normal loads and 1500% at high loads. When compared with the best performing Linux kernel (2.6.22 or 2.6.24) performance is 15% better.

Ah I wish I had enough time to play with it. Perhaps when my VPS providers upgrade their offerings I’ll give it a try. ;)
