Numpy Benchmark benchmark with settings of . EndeavourOS Rolling was the fastest.

For the Numpy benchmark the Python 3 performance on helloSystem was right among the Linux distributions as it should be. The Arch Linux based Endeavour OS was performing the best for Numpy followed by Fedora Workstation.

Node.js V8 Web Tooling Benchmark benchmark with settings of . EndeavourOS Rolling was the fastest.

For Node.js performance on the FreeBSD 13.1 based helloSystem, it was slightly behind the three Linux distributions for the V8 Web Tooling Benchmark.

OpenSSL benchmark with settings of . Ubuntu 22.10 was the fastest.
OpenSSL benchmark with settings of . EndeavourOS Rolling was the fastest.

helloSystem 0.8 is still shipping OpenSSL 1.1 by default while the Linux distributions tested are all on OpenSSL 3.0, but even when measuring the CPU-based OpenSSL performance there wasn't any measurable difference between these tested operating systems on the Ryzen 9 7950X.

GEGL benchmark with settings of Operation: Crop. Fedora Workstation 37 was the fastest.
GEGL benchmark with settings of Operation: Scale. Fedora Workstation 37 was the fastest.
GEGL benchmark with settings of Operation: Cartoon. EndeavourOS Rolling was the fastest.
GEGL benchmark with settings of Operation: Reflect. Ubuntu 22.10 was the fastest.
GEGL benchmark with settings of Operation: Color Enhance. Ubuntu 22.10 was the fastest.
GEGL benchmark with settings of Operation: Rotate 90 Degrees. Ubuntu 22.10 was the fastest.

The GEGL imaging library shipped by helloSystem / FreeBSD 13.1 tended to be much slower than the GEGL packages found on the benchmarked Linux distributions.
