BSD-Powered helloSystem 0.8 Performance Against Linux On AMD Zen 4
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.
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.
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.
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.
