Yeah I'd love to see an update on this benchmark re: network syscall performance: http://bulk.fefe.de/scalability/ http://bulk.fefe.de/scalability/. FreeBSD has very good results in some of those, but even then Linux was showing some truly impressive strengths of its own. And which kernel has gotten even more attention since then, and become even more (that is to say, completely) dominant in the Top 500? (happens to matter for me, even though it's a strong data point anyway). I will say that performance aside, the UX of BSD firewalls is SO nice. Clear configuration files, features exposed simply, just wonderful.
