Well the BSDs have issues too. FreeBSD/Netflix has been doing in kernel SSL to try to fix some issues, and there is Netmap available for packet processing in userspace. So they are running into similar issues as Linux.
- gonzo 11y agoNetflix is doing in-kernel SSL so they don't have to hit the web server to encrypt the disk blocks for their streaming movies. That doesn't mean it's a (Free)BSD issue, just that Netflix chose a particular architecture and are doing the work to make it go fast. Netmap is in FreeBSD, and available for linux. I think it might be in Dragonfly at this point as well.
