Hugin benchmark with settings of Panorama Photo Assistant + Stitching Time. EndeavourOS Rolling was the fastest.

In addition to the packaged GEGL being much slower on helloSystem, the packaged Hugin was also much slower on that FreeBSD operating system than Linux.

Inkscape benchmark with settings of Operation: SVG Files To PNG. Ubuntu 22.10 was the fastest.
LibreOffice benchmark with settings of Test: 20 Documents To PDF. EndeavourOS Rolling was the fastest.

The Inkscape and LibreOffice packages in FreeBSD ports was also much slower on the Ryzen 9 7950X system than what is provided by the tested Linux distributions on the same hardware.

OpenSCAD benchmark with settings of Render: Pistol. helloSystem 0.8 was the fastest.
OpenSCAD benchmark with settings of Render: Mini-ITX Case. helloSystem 0.8 was the fastest.
OpenSCAD benchmark with settings of Render: Leonardo Phone Case Slim. Ubuntu 22.10 was the fastest.

HelloSystem 0.8 was at least delivering good performance with OpenSCAD as an open-source CAD program. Here FreeBSD ports was quick to pick-up the new OpenSCAD 2023 while the other Linux distributions in their archives had OpenSCAD 2021, which may explain some of the performance difference.

Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: BMW27, Compute: CPU-Only. EndeavourOS Rolling was the fastest.
Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: Classroom, Compute: CPU-Only. EndeavourOS Rolling was the fastest.
Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: Barbershop, Compute: CPU-Only. EndeavourOS Rolling was the fastest.

The Blender 3.4.1 packages offered by FreeBSD ports was running right between EndeavourOS and Fedora Workstation with their Blender 3.4.1 builds. (Ubuntu 22.10 ships Blender 3.3 in its archive rather than Blender 3.4.)
