Copy/paste the dead comment, for posterity to show Annatard getting rekt yet again: >No sorry, but that's incorrect. WRONG! It is factually correct that Linux beats illumos in performance. >I saw the bug requests myself when the database was still accessible, and I read multiple accounts from engineers working on performance improvements at Sun Microsystems As did I, and the former lead performance engineer at Joyent says Linux beats illumos: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16382456 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16382456 >who I trust far more than anecdotal, arbitrary claim from you here in "Hacker" "News" of all places, which has meanwhile become notorious. Hopefully you trust the anecdotes of the lead performance engineer that worked on illumos LOL! >And considering I know how fast illumos is because I ran Solaris and Linux on the same hardware, I'll just stick with running SmartOS, thank you very much: I also ran it with the same hardware, and Linux beats it in pretty much every category. You can continue to use your Slowlaris based OS and live in the past. Your prerogative. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=opensola.. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=opensola.... >for example, Solaris would regularly peak to 85 MB/s while Linux could barely muster 55 MB/s on the same hardware... AHAHAHA I got more performance from my junk server on Linux 10 years ago, easily beating Solaris, regularly peaking around 100 MB/s. >HTTP response times are up to 10x faster on Solaris; and so on, and so forth. I got 40x response time increases on Linux; and so on, and so forth. >I've never seen Linux max out 40 Gbps per second and saturate the switch, but I sure as hell did do that with Solaris 10 on a DELL server, of all the shitty hardware out there. Wow, so slow. We had to get special switches specifically because Linux would over saturate way past 40 Gbps. Never had that issue with Slowlaris. > I've also never been able to get Linux to deliver anywhere close to 100 MB/s with NFS, while SmartOS regularly delivered over 433 MB/s, while peaking multiple times at 533 MB/s; that's faster than our EMC SAN was at work! AHAHAHAHA Slowlaris could barely make it through a day without NFS crashing. We were regularly peaking in the 800 MB/s range with Linux, that's faster than Slowlaris crashing on the EMC SAN at work! >So yeah, I'll stick with what doesn't break backwards compatibility and is blazingly fast... Ah, so you'll stick with Linux! Awesome! >Solaris and SmartOS for the win. Winning the dunce award for antiquated OSes, yep. >Good luck with GNU and Linux. You'll need it. Good luck with the OS that runs the fastest super computers in the world, all of HFT, etc.? Yep, we'll need luck to leverage the best platform to push us into the future. Thanks!
