Second, why would the CPU load matter when running benchmarks? When you're trying to get accurate results, you make sure the entire system is idle first; it isn't scientific or useful when you're running a performance benchmark and something is running in the background like caching or updates. So, you're nitpicking about something that no reviewers do.

Please correct me if I am wrong but aren't the interfaces pretty much the same with different implementations on different operation systems? The test here the networking performance of different operation systems. Different configuration will also affect results.

Which probably means that (hopefully!) extraneous services aren't started already. I'm just trying to figure out why Manjaro was so terrible? Bandwidth limiter on it or something?
I understand that Micheael does not have the manpower (and skill, as optimizing stuff isn't trivial) to do more in-depth benchmarking, I just point out the limitations of the current method.

This benchmark is using the long term support version of Server 2016 which makes me wonder if there's much change between that and the new 1709-based version (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...rted-with-1709). It is only available in Core variant without GUI present though.

So I'm not all that surprised. It's a bit amusing that it's performing similar to Windows Server though which is meant to be a product that should perform better at network perf.
