The Phoronix Ubuntu Lucid Lynx benchmarks- what is that really?
,----[ Quote ]
| I am not against their conclusion whatsoever.
| What I have a problem with is the way the
| story is titled. I find it very unfair to
| title a story this way only to have conducted
| a series of game tests on the two OS to reach
| such a conclusion. Would it have been so
| difficult to title it to reflect the fact that
| the conclusion is based on a series of tests
| in a gaming context.
|
| I would be woefully unfair to Windows 7 should
| I claim Ubuntu 10.04 has more eye candy than
| the former without making it known afore-hand
| that I have Compiz running. It should be made
| clearly known that there is no way Windows 7
| can be faster than the Lucid Lynx (yes I am
| sticking my neck here) in a general purpose
| context.

Don't fall for improper comparisons. Graphics drivers for the operating systems
are very different and the same goes for games.

| Few overarching conclusions can be drawn from the limited results of this
| study. Certainly, there are situations in which the Solaris/RAID-Z
| configuration appears to outperform the Ubuntu/RAID-5 configuration. Many
| questions remain regarding the large discrepancy in CPU usage for small-file
| operations. Likewise, the Ubuntu/RAID-5 configuration appears to perform
| slightly better in certain situations, though not overwhelmingly so. At best,
| under these default configurations, one can say that overall the Solaris
| configuration performs no worse, and indicates that it might perform better
| under live operating conditions. The latter, though, is largely speculation.
