Linux is a microkernel? Mach is monolithic? Since when?

This kind of testing can only help with that, once you get past all the dick-waving by narrow-minded advocates. Personally, I'm a big fan of all three systems and want to see all three thrive and grow and improve.

In my experience, these sorts of tests on free/libre/open-source systems quickly become out-of-date because the developers take them as a challenge, and that's a good thing for everyone! :)įf your tests were more than a couple of years ago, they're probably so out-of-date as to be utterly meaningless, but that's a separate issue. This isn't (or shouldn't be) a pissing match-this should be an opportunity to improve all three systems by seeing where their strengths and weaknesses are, and working to bolster their weaknesses and improve their strengths.

All three can have their performance boosted even further by recompiling everything optimized for the particular hardware being used, possibly using specialized compilers (e.g. All three come with tunable performance parameters.
