Where does DragonflyBSD win right now? I haven't looked into it and seen a place where it fits.

- tiffanyh 10y agoI too would like to see someone more verse in the nuances of the various BSDs answer this question, but I'll give it a go. DragonflyBSD is: - focused only on x64 architecture - has an extremely small but exceptionally talented team of developers - has it's own unique filesystem called Hammer (and work is being down on Hammer2 which is a complete rewrite) - Network performance is particularly good with Dragonfly [1] [1] https://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~sephe/perf_cmp.pdf https://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~sephe/perf_cmp.pdf Edit: typo
- maxfromua 10y agoBut I've heard the same points like 5 years ago. What had changed on a big scale?
- Drakonis 10y agoThe benchmark's accuracy is debatable, as it does not put all parties in even ground[1], nor it list in detail everything used for all systems beyond Dragonfly BSD. [1] FreeBSD's nginx port does not have a functional 'reuseport' compilation flag, which greatly impacts its performance in the benchmark, whereas Linux and Dragonfly BSD do have it in a functional state.
