I'm eagerly awaiting that Haiku guy to jump in at any moment, pointing out how much BSD and Linux both suck.

Now that Kernel.org is dead and you can't get source code for the Linux kernel from the main channel maybe everybody will start porting drivers to FreeBSD.
The Uningine deltas for 1024/768 look funky.

As for this particular test, theoretically it's a very interesting one, but as usual Phoronix botches it by going for another pointless testbed. If you want to test the 3d driver performance between two different platforms, you need to eliminate (as much ass possible) any other intereference. Here Phoronix chooses the exact opposite, distros which come with alot of stuff enabled from the get go (yet are far from comparable) which can skew the results any which way, and even composite effects which are known to interfere greatly with 3d apps. It's like Phoronix isn't even trying...
To do a test between BSD/Linux and NVidia proprietary drivers which would hold any meaning beyond these two particular distros you would need to use the bare minimums needed on each platform in order to get the benchmarks up and running. As it is now, this test proves nothing beyond Ubuntu '11.04 vs FreeBSD 8.2' since there are so many variables in what they ship with/enables by default.
Still, props to Phoronix for doing a 'potentially' very interesting comparison, now can we please have a proper test?

FreeBSD users and developers know my statement to be factual.
