Right... so... same kernel, same userspace programs, same blobby drivers... There's no ***** difference dud'!!! I don't have time to check but for me there's been either a flaw in the benchmarking process or canonical is maintaining phoronix.
Also, don't use arch - it's slow and unstable. ( http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/...vertisement.29)

Seriously though, I have been so sick of this aura of superiority that Arch Linux users seem to develop.
By the way, Phoronix has made a mockery of proper benchmarking by paying no attention to whether or not the results are valid. When something is as wildly off as the Arch Linux benchmarks were, benchmarkers need to investigate to see whether the benchmarks as they were tainted by the introduction of some assumption/mistake that was wrong by rerunning them, analyzing them to ascertain the cause and running them again to verify that hypothesis. This is something that Phoronix clearly failed to do and this sort of behavior is unethical.

Userspace Programs should be the same (or as similar as possible) since you are running a distro benchmark, not a multi distro debugging session.
Arch uses kernel 2.6.33 (no special config involved) while ubuntu is using 2.6.32, since arch is not using special configs - actually it should be a little slicker than ubuntu kernel - i don't understand the enormous lag you have showed.
