While the PostgreSQL server benchmark saw improvements in DragonFlyBSD 3.2 over DragonFlyBSD 3.0 that made it more competitive with Linux, for some of the common Phoronix Test Suite benchmarks, we're seeing very little changes over the earlier DragonFly release. This testing is only checking out the scaling performance up to 12 threads, but for these applications there isn't much difference with the upgraded OS. At the same time, however, the DragonFlyBSD relative scaling performance is matching that of Ubuntu 12.10.
