Intel Core i9 10980XE: FreeBSD 12.1 vs. GhostBSD 12.02 vs. DragonFlyBSD vs. Ubuntu Linux Benchmarks

With the Nebular Empirical Analysis Tool used for astronomy research, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS delivered the fastest performance by a narrow margin. This is a Fortran based workload and GhostBSD/FreeBSD were the fastest BSDs while DragonFlyBSD 5.8 came out a fair distance behind them.

With the BLAKE2 crypto benchmark were issues with DragonFlyBSD on GCC 9 but in any case the performance was fairly close.

For the Java tests obviously switching to GCC 9 doesn't make any difference in making use of the default OpenJDK packages, but the numbers are there for just further ensuring the stability of the results. With the H2 test, the BSDs outperformed Ubuntu 20.04 with OpenJDK.

With these OpenJDK Java benchmarks, the BSDs tended to compete well with Ubuntu 20.04 on this Intel Core i9 10980XE system. In some cases in fact were strong leads for the BSDs but in other instances DragonFlyBSD 5.8 was slower than the others.
