Last week I posted some Ubuntu 15.04 vs. Ubuntu 15.10 benchmarks when comparing the data to FreeBSD 10.2. Enclosed in this article are some more 15.04 Vivid Vervet vs. 15.10 Wily Werewolf performance benchmarks from another system.
The extra benchmarks this weekend are from an Intel Core i7 5960X system having a 240GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD, 16GB of DDR4 memory, and a Radeon R7 370. Clean installs of Ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 were done on the same system.
These tests aren't looking at the graphics performance, but a separate featured article is coming out in the next day or two to compare the Ubuntu 15.04 vs. 15.10 open-source driver performance.
With these primarily CPU and disk benchmarks, in a few areas Ubuntu 15.10 is slower than its predecessor:
