Meltdown/PTI Mitigation Impact On BSDs vs. Linux

[Guest]

I can't imagine a single task where BSD is faster than Linux.

Banning virtual hugs, maybe?

Pretty sure that every filesystem related benchmark is a benchmark ZFS vs ext4. And we already know that near to every filesystem is slower than ext4 (XFS and f2fs are good too). But that is not the point of this benchmark..

More like CoW filesystems (ZFS and Btrfs) are slower than conventional ones.

Would be nice to get OpenSUSE (i.e. btrfs / by default) tested too to provide a data point with a filesystem comparable to ZFS. Michael phoronix
