FreeBSD 13 BETA Benchmarks - Performance Is Much Better

Simply put, the FreeBSD 13-BETA1 performance we are seeing so far on Intel x86_64 hardware is nothing short of terrific albeit overdue -- this isn't a magical performance boost but likely due to not fully leveraging the hardware previously, which would be the case especially if these gains are chalked up due to P-State / power management. Tests on additional hardware forthcoming as well as seeing what the performance looks like on AMD hardware and AArch64 / POWER9. So stay tuned for more testing to ramp up as FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE approaches next month. Once FreeBSD 13.0 is buttoned up, it will be interesting to see how its performance compares now to that of various Linux distributions.
