Comparing Linux and Minix
,----[ Quote ]
| The UnixBench results (raw results: Minix, Linux) paint a rather
| different picture. These results are summarized in the plot to the
| left; the upper bar for each test represents Linux. The measured
| system call overhead for Minix is a full ten times higher than
| the value for Linux. The file copy tests ran between two and ten
| times faster on Linux. Pipe throughput differed by a factor of
| seven; Minix was 140 times slower at process creation. The
| difference in shell script execution performance, however, was
| 1.4 - in Minix's favor. One assumes that the rather simple shell
| provided by Minix is, at least, faster than bash.
