FreeBSD & DragonFlyBSD Put Up A Strong Fight On AMD's Threadripper 2990WX, Benchmarks Against Linux

For single-threaded FLAC audio encoding performance, the DragonFlyBSD and FreeBSD results were intermixed with the Linux performance.

But Ubuntu and openSUSE ended up being faster at Zstd file compression over the BSDs.

And the OpenSSL signing performance was the same across the tested operating systems.

With libjpeg-turbo's benchmark, the performance was also nearly the same -- the Linux distributions delivering just a few more megapixels per second over DragonFly/FreeBSD.
