- rhinoceraptor 7y agoOf course, you're not allowed to benchmark Oracle publicly, it's in the EULA :)
- ineedasername 7y agoSeriously? As someone with purchasing power, I could only assume they were slower than alternatives in that case. Anything they quoted me would have to be considered marketing fluff without independent numbers.
- rhinoceraptor 7y agoI can almost understand why they do it. Benchmarking is incredibly hard to do correctly, and it requires a very deep understanding of software and hardware. For example, I remember hearing about Joyent's port of KVM to Illumos. They were testing the Illumos KVM against Linux KVM, and the Illumos KVM was faster. After a lot of debugging, they realized the Illumos machine was turboboosting better than the Linux machine, since it was in a colder part of the data center.
