PCLinuxOS 2010 Runs Against, But Falls Short Of Ubuntu 10.04

The NAS Parallel Benchmarks from NASA also use OpenMP, but this time the numbers swung the other way. PCLinuxOS 2010 was 64% faster than Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with the IS.C test found in NAS.

The x264 video encoding performance was extremely close between PCLinuxOS and Ubuntu, but the Mark Shuttleworth OS was trying to inch forward.

Like x264, the FFmpeg numbers are indifferent between the newest releases from the PCLinuxOS and Ubuntu camps.

In a number of the tests, the performance between PCLinuxOS 2010 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS were neck-and-neck, but Ubuntu did possess some strong leads in the area of OpenGL performance, PostMark, and GraphicsMagick. The only wins that PCLinuxOS had over Lucid Lynx were with Apache and NAS Parallel Benchmarks.
