While Clang was once well regarded for its compilation speed, with modern GCC and Clang releases that appears largely over. The Clang-using FreeBSD-based operating systems all took a great deal more time to compile PHP than the GCC-based operating systems.

Under the FFmpeg encode test, OpenBSD 6.3 was performing surprisingly well and came in third place while TrueOS and FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT were in line with the Linux distributions while the other BSDs were coming in at the end.

The libjpeg benchmark was roughly in line across the operating systems with this test primarily being a function of the compiler performance and libjpeg-turbo being well optimized everywhere.
