Phoronix: DragonFlyBSD 5.3 Offering Some Performance Improvements

Since the release of DragonFlyBSD 5.2 this past April there have been many improvements to this popular BSD operating system, including on the performance front. I recently wrapped up some fresh benchmarks of DragonFlyBSD 5.3-DEVELOPMENT for seeing what the performance is looking like in what will eventually be released as DragonFlyBSD 5.4.

Something isn't right either with your comment or the Rodinia benchmark. You say there was an improvement but the graph is identical.

Yeah, I spotted that one too.

Overall, it looks like a mixed bad. Filesystem and some other improvements combined with the upgraded compiler lead to a mostly improved situation, but it's not a clear win across the board.
