No I think I saw them on openbenchmarking, why?
- trasz 5y agoLooking at openbenchmarking.org, it seems they are related to Phoronix? As to why - essentially, Phoronix benchmarks are crap, for a number of reasons: 1. They don't provide things like standard deviation 2. They compile software in improper way 3. They don't even know what are they measuring in the first place It's been pointed to them numerous times, and honestly, I think it's a waste of time.
- na85 5y agoI dunno, sounds like sour grapes to me. Those benchmarks are in agreement with my subjective experience of running (open)bsd on an allegedly well-suoported thinkpad: compared to debian, bsd was sluggish and lasted hours less on battery.
- 1500100900 5y agoPerformance is not the top priority for OpenBSD developers.
- trasz 5y agoNo idea about OpenBSD (BSDs are completely separate operating systems), but I remember recent case where certain bad FreeBSD result was tracked down to PTS failing to correctly measure test time. I hate to say this, but I suspect PTS is not actually a benchmark - it’s a publicity generation tool pretending to be a benchmark.
