Again, and again, I see so many unreflecting "performance tests" made by simply compiling the system. No, no, no. Well, listen to this: some guy
The only accurate performance test is reality.
My question is, hopefuly, simple: I need objective and true informations about how "ggod" the SMP implementation of FreeBSD 3.2 is, how "stable" and usable the system is for usage with 4x CPU (Xeon) and 4GB RAM. We have some offers
ftp.cdrom.com runs FreeBSD on a Xeon/500 with 4GB ram. They have no stability problems. Obviously, they don't run fortran programs, but you shouldn't experience stability problems. I'm not sure if ftp.cdrom.com has >1 cpu, though.
You shouldn't experience problems running Linux applications on FreeBSD. Linux isn't really "emulated" in the sense that applications need to be translated before being executed, but rather we just use a different set of syscall mappings for Linux programs as well as a port that installs the necessary parts of userland Linux. If Linux programs are noticeably slower due to being emulated, then that is a bug.
