When measuring the time to convert several images from RAW to PPM image format using the popular dcraw program, it took 47.8 seconds under FreeBSD 72 but 45.6 seconds with FreeBSD 8.0 RC1. This time under Ubuntu Linux though was just at 39.3 seconds.

Ubuntu 9.10 pulled out another win with the timed MAFFT alignment test where it did significantly better than the two tested BSDs.

Turning to GraphicsMagick and its OpenMP-enabled tests, Ubuntu 9.10 only had a roughly 8% lead over FreeBSD with the HWB Color Space conversion process.
