Arch Linux vs. Antergos vs. Clear Linux vs. Ubuntu Benchmarks
In the case of the Himeno pressure solver, Antergos and Arch were slower than Ubuntu 17.10.
Clear and Arch were faster than Antergos and Ubuntu with the time needed to compile a generic default configuration Linux kernel.
Arch Linux didn't perform any differently from Antergos in the Stockfish chess benchmark.
Of the systemd-powered boot process, the Ubuntu Server's default kernel took 4.3 seconds while Antergos/Arch took two seconds and Clear Linux required just one second.
In the case of Clear Linux, they have even taken to Glibc optimizations.
