Ubuntu 18.04 LTS vs. Fedora 28 vs. Clear Linux Benchmarks

The ebizzy program that tries to resemble web server workloads saw roughly the same performance on the tested systems but funny enough the biggest difference was on the AMD Ryzen "Zen+" and AMD EPYC systems where using Clear Linux yielded better performance over Fedora 28 and Ubuntu 18.04.
