x265 benchmark with settings of Video Input: Bosphorus 4K. FreeBSD 14.0 was the fastest.
Coremark benchmark with settings of CoreMark Size 666, Iterations Per Second. FreeBSD 14.0 was the fastest.
OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: SHA256. FreeBSD 13.2 was the fastest.
OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: SHA512. FreeBSD 13.2 was the fastest.
OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: ChaCha20-Poly1305. FreeBSD 13.2 was the fastest.

FreeBSD 14.0 though isn't black magic: in a number of the computational tests on this AMD EPYC 64-core / 128-thread server the performance was unchanged with FreeBSD 14.

Timed LLVM Compilation benchmark with settings of Build System: Unix Makefiles. FreeBSD 14.0 was the fastest.
Timed PHP Compilation benchmark with settings of Time To Compile. FreeBSD 13.2 was the fastest.
Timed CPython Compilation benchmark with settings of Build Configuration: Default. FreeBSD 14.0 was the fastest.
Timed CPython Compilation benchmark with settings of Build Configuration: Released Build, PGO + LTO Optimized. FreeBSD 14.0 was the fastest.

There were no major changes in the compile build times from the LLVM Clang 14 to LLVM Clang 16 system compiler upgrade.
